About the Company A cornerstone of Australia's energy future , this organisation is driving the delivery of critical substations and high-voltage infrastructure across NSW and beyond. With a reputation for technical excellence and collaborative innovation , they're the go-to partner for utilities, governments, and major developers. Their growth isn't just rapid, it's strategic , fuelled by landmark projects and a culture that rewards initiative and career ambition. If shaping the backbone of the grid excites you , this is where you'll lead. About the Role Join as the technical linchpin for substation bids, where your expertise ensures proposals are engineered to win while meeting stringent standards (AS/NZS 3000, AS 2067, IEC 62271). You'll bridge design, procurement, and construction teams, turning complex specs into competitive, executable solutions for substations, BESS, and transmission projects. Your mission: Own the technical and civil deliverables of tenders from foundation design to risk mitigation, ensuring every submission is compliant, innovative, and commercially sharp . Key Responsibilities Bid Leadership: Decode the Tender: Lead technical reviews of RFQs, contracts, and drawings, ensuring scope, risks, and client requirements are crystal clear. Engineer the Win: Develop optimised methodologies for substations (civil, structural, and HV), ensuring constructability, safety, and cost-efficiency. Crunch the Details: Collaborate with estimators to validate BoQs, labour forecasts, and plant requirements. Your technical input drives pricing accuracy. Sell the Solution: Craft compelling technical narratives for non-priced attributes, showcasing innovation (e.g., modular designs, geotechnical solutions). Project Execution Prep: Design Oversight: Review civil engineering designs for transmission foundations, towers, and substation structures, ensuring compliance with standards and geotechnical requirements. Quality & Safety: Monitor subcontractor performance, ensuring workmanship aligns with specs and HS&E requirements are rigorously implemented. Program Coordination: Communicate timelines to subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams to maintain commitment and avoid delays. Cost Control: Assist in budget management, ensuring civil works meet performance targets and mitigate risks. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Lead Teams: Motivate and mentor site personnel, fostering a culture of safety and excellence. Stakeholder Engagement: Address client queries professionally and liaise with design, procurement, and QA teams to align deliverables. Documentation: Maintain accurate project records (drawings, reports, as-builts) and assist in scheduling/resource planning. About You You're a substation and civil engineering pro with a track record in bids or hands-on project delivery. Your toolkit includes: Qualifications: Bachelors in Civil Engineering (or related field). Experience: 3 years in substation civil works (foundations, structures) or transmission projects. Bid/tender exposure is a plus. Technical Skills: Geotechnical interpretation and foundation design. Proficiency in civil design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil 3D) and familiarity with PLS-CADD or ETAP. Working knowledge of AS/NZS 3000, AS 2067, IEC 62271 . Commercial Acumen: Ability to align designs with budget realities and assess subcontractor quotes. Leadership: Strong interpersonal skills to collaborate with stakeholders and mentor teams. Problem-Solving: Aptitude for troubleshooting design and construction challenges. The Benefits Top-Tier Salary: A package above market , reflecting your niche expertise. Career Amplifier: Grow into bid management or project leadership; your path is mapped. Impactful Work: Shape nation-critical infrastructure from bid stage to delivery. High-Performance Team: Join a collaborative, technically elite group. Stability & Scale: Backed by a long-term pipeline of energy transition projects. Ready to engineer winning bids?
