We are proud to service Sydney, Central Coast & the Hunter Region in NSW on Australia’s east coast. We are a leading business in energy distribution, delivering a safe and reliable electricity supply to more than 1.8 million homes – that’s over four million Australians relying on us every day.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Undertake site inspections to resolve detailed project scope and confirm existing AsBuilt Drawings as required.
• Perform the role of Design Manager as part of project teams for assigned projects, guiding multidiscipline teams to deliver detailed and coordinated design packages to agreed delivery milestones.
• Coordination and technical review of designs from external consultants.
• Undertake inspection of civil and electrical works, recognising and documenting defects and proposing remediations as required.
• Provide ongoing technical support to Ausgrid Clerk of Works and Ausgrid Project Managers during the construction phase of substation projects and continue to assist field staff during the electrical fit out stage followed by AsBuilt Drawings.
