About Us

EPEC Group is a nationally recognised high-voltage engineering and EPC partner, providing HV power engineering, EPC (for substations, lines and BESS BoP), testing and compliance services, along with market modelling, SCADA and Hardware-in-the-Loop capability.

Since being founded in 2019, EPEC has grown rapidly to become a trusted delivery partner on some of Australia’s most complex renewable energy projects, from 400 MW solar farms and 200 MW battery storage systems to 330 kV substations delivered for international developers entering the Australian market for the first time. Founded by specialists in power system engineering, project delivery and generator compliance, our mission is to simplify the grid connection process and remove the uncertainty that costs projects time and money.

We manage connections to the National Electricity Market (NEM) through end-to-end solutions, from pre-enquiry through to connection, registration, testing, compliance and commercial operations. What sets EPEC apart is that everything is delivered in-house: power system modelling, EPC construction, SCADA, commissioning and compliance testing, all under one roof and one point of accountability.

Our six core values — Customer Centric, Certainty, Enjoyment, Future Focused, Integrity, and Safety — are at the heart of everything we do.

EPEC Group is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to oversee the planning, execution and delivery of complex projects across our renewable energy portfolio, including high voltage substations, transmission lines and BESS works.

• Lead project estimations and budget planning during the proposal phase.
• Provide strategic leadership to project teams, ensuring delivery on time, within budget and to a high quality standard.
• Oversee project schedules, resource allocation and budget management.
• Conduct site visits as needed to resolve issues and strengthen stakeholder engagement.
• Deliver high-level reporting on project status, milestones, risks and corrective actions.
• Lead stakeholder collaboration to define project requirements and manage expectations.
• Take ownership of project documentation, ensuring accuracy, completeness and compliance.
• Support the development of project staff through mentoring, coaching and performance reviews.
• Lead WH&S obligations and identify hazards relevant to the workplace.
