• Strong knowledge of:
• Electrical power and distribution systems
• Control systems and automation
• Instrumentation and process measurement
• Control theory, modelling and feedback systems
• A practical, problem-solving approach to engineering challenges
• Successfully led a team of engineers to deliver an engineered solution
• Demonstrated successful application of complex engineering solutions
• Chartered / Incorporated engineer with relevant institution (or working towards)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-engineers
• Experience working within multi-disciplinary teams and engaging with clients or end users
• A professional approach aligned with sustainability, integrity, ethics, diversity, and inclusion
