Project Engineer - Underground Reticulation

About the Company

Talesca is partnering with an electrical infrastructure contractor delivering major projects across the renewable energy and power sectors. With a substantial construction project getting underway in Queensland, they are looking for a Project Engineer to support the underground electrical reticulation works.

About the Role

You’ll initially work from the Brisbane office, supporting engineering coordination, procurement and planning ahead of construction. As the project moves into delivery, you’ll transition to site in North Queensland on a 19 days on, nine days off roster, with travel included within the nine days off. Previous experience delivering underground electrical reticulation packages, including trenching, conduit installation and cable laying, is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate technical documentation, drawings and engineering queries for underground electrical works.
• Support procurement of cables, conduits and associated materials, tracking deliveries against construction requirements.
• Assist with construction planning, work methods and sequencing of trenching and cable installation.
• Coordinate with construction teams, suppliers and subcontractors to resolve issues and maintain progress.
• Monitor installation quality, progress and documentation through testing and handover.

Skills & Experience

• Demonstrated project delivery experience in underground electrical reticulation is a must, including trenching, conduits and cable installation.
• Experience as a Project Engineer or Site Engineer on electrical infrastructure projects.
• Ability to interpret electrical drawings and coordinate the interfaces between civil and electrical works.
• Experience supporting procurement, construction planning and contractor coordination.
• Relevant engineering qualifications and availability to work from Brisbane initially, then transition to the site roster.

Wind farm reticulation experience is highly regarded. Engineers from other power infrastructure projects will also be considered where they can demonstrate directly relevant underground electrical delivery experience.

Why Join?

• Get involved before construction and see your work through to site delivery.
• Take responsibility for a defined electrical package on a major renewable energy project.
• Work closely with experienced project and construction leaders.
• Broaden your experience across engineering, procurement and construction.
• Permanent role with an initial Brisbane office phase, followed by a 19:9 site roster.
