Want to bring ideas to life?
As an engineer you’re no doubt aware of Aurecon - we’ve been a leading design, engineering and advisory company for decades. But why should you choose to join us?
Every project Aurecon delivers leaves a legacy. Every project has sustainability embedded in decision making. And every project is at the leading-edge of technical eminence.
But it really comes down to one, crucial question: what kind of world do you want to create for the next generation? Truth is that the decisions being made right now will determine the future of everything - from the local community to the entire planet. One of those decisions is: who do you decide to work for?
How will your ideas contribute to shaping what’s next?
The position will be in the Power Generation team within Aurecon’s Energy Business. You will join our multi-disciplinary team who advises our clients on the development and implementation of power generation projects across the entire development lifecycle. This includes a range of technologies such as onshore wind, solar PV, BESS, offshore wind, pumped hydro and green hydrogen applications. The role will include the following activities:

Your role will include :

• Designing solar PV systems across different applications such as utility-scale fixed-tilt and tracking, and C&I ground-mount and rooftop.
• Preparing concept designs, feasibility assessments, technical due-diligence, and resource assessments for solar PV projects for clients during development.
• Providing design reviews, Owners Engineering, construction assessments and ad-hoc technical responses for clients during construction.
• Undertaking field inspections of new sites to inform development and concept design decisions; sites in construction to inform the design and commissioning process; and existing sites to verify compliance with design and standards, and identification of issues and risks.
• Working with wide-spread teams in different disciplines (e.g. Water, Defence, Advisory, BESS, Transmission and Distribution, Environment and Planning) and locations (Australia-wide, Asia) for application of renewables.

How will your future be shaped by us?
Joining Aurecon means you’ll be at the award-winning edge of innovation and sustainability. AFR ranked us Top 5 among sustainability leaders and Top 3 of all innovative companies in professional services. One Consult awarded us an innovative design award.

On a personal level, you’ll have access to flexible work hours, remote work, working holidays, part-time and job share options.

Outside of work, you’ll be further supported with competitive paid parental leave, cultural public holiday swaps, plus wellbeing support programmes.

What are we looking for from you?

• Have a detailed understanding of the equipment employed in utility-scale solar farms such as solar panels, inverters, single-axis trackers.
• Experience with equipment layout in an optimised manner that contributes to the overall constructability, maintainability and safe operation of that equipment.
• Ability to perform design calculations and develop electrical design documentation, such as AC and DC single line diagrams, cable schedules, schematic and termination diagrams, datasheets, specifications, scopes of work and equipment lists.
• Proficiency in the use of a range of electrical and solar yield software packages, such as PVSyst, Helioscope, Homer, AutoCAD etc.
• Ability to use your initiative, work independently and have a strong attention to detail.
• A working knowledge of relevant engineering legislation and standards as they apply to projects.

You’ll have a genuine passion for re-imagining problems and continuous learning to help shape the future.
