  • Drive innovation in electrical engineering projects, applying first-principles thinking to develop and optimise cutting edge solutions.
  • Conduct and self-lead R&D initiatives, integrating mechanical and controls engineering considerations where needed to achieve project goals.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders, communicating complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Mentor and support colleagues within the R&D team, providing guidance and promoting best practices to maintain high technical standards.
  • Oversee project compliance with relevant industry directives, standards, and quality frameworks, contributing to robust governance and risk management.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering (MSc or PhD preferred) with a focus on Power Systems.
  • Extensive experience with power system simulation tools (e.g., ETAP, PSS/E, DigSILENT, or MATLAB/Simulink).
  • Proven track record in renewable energy projects or grid-scale industrial solutions.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

  • Experience with Hydrogen Electrolyser power supply architectures.
  • Chartered Engineer (CEng) status or equivalent professional registration.
  • Knowledge of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) integration.
