What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior electrical/HV engineering roles leading design, construction and commissioning of substations and transmission projects; open to FIFO and remote work, with opportunities to apply project management and emerging IT/AI skills.

I am an electrical engineer specialising in substations and powerlines, with a decade designing, managing and supervising complex high-voltage projects. I have delivered 500kV and 220kV primary and secondary systems across new builds, upgrades and maintenance.

As a Senior HV Engineer I led design, installation and commissioning of transmission lines and substations, managed site teams, quality assurance and stakeholder coordination on major national projects. I hold a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, am recognised by Engineers Australia as a Professional Engineer, and I am completing a Masters in Information Technology to broaden my data and AI capabilities.
