Senior Grid Connnection Engineer

Today’s most tomorrow company.

We run the most powerful battery on the grid, the 850MW Waratah Super Battery, and getting the next ones connected is your job.

We are leading the energy transition towards a better, brighter tomorrow. The work you will do makes a real and very tangible impact on the future of the planet and its people. We’re 200 people around the world with 40 GWh of projects moving through development across Australia, Japan, the US and Germany.

We build, own, and operate our assets, we don’t hand a project to someone else once it’s approved. The people who design a battery site are the same people who build it and run it for the next twenty years.

You’ll lead our connection applications end to end, from first enquiry through to registration, working closely with Commercial and Engineering to get the settings right from day one.

What you’ll do

• Lead the Connection Application process end to end, including Connection Enquiries, Generator Performance Standards, design and modelling packages, validation, Hold Point testing and registration submissions
• Work with Business Developers and Engineering to optimise project designs, equipment selection and grid connection planning
• Liaise directly with OEMs, external consultants and AEMO/NSPs, troubleshooting power system models and control system performance
• Negotiate technical performance standards with AEMO and NSPs, balancing our long-term operation of the asset against regulatory requirements
• Keep across new rules and regulations, and help shape our responses to proposed changes

How you’ll make a positive impact

• A degree in Electrical, Control or Power Systems Engineering
• Hands-on experience in renewables or electrical engineering, ideally on utility-scale or power transmission projects
• Solid knowledge of NEM grid connection processes and Australian engineering standards
• Comfort with power system modelling tools like PSSE, PSCAD or PowerFactory
