About the Role

As the Lead Electrical Engineer in Adelaide, you will play a key role in leading the design and delivery of electrical engineering solutions across a diverse range of resources, industrial and infrastructure projects.

You will provide technical leadership across HV and LV electrical systems, working on projects involving motor control centres (MCCs), PLCs, transformers, electrical distribution, schematics, terminations and cable schedules. Applying your engineering expertise and modelling tools, you will analyse system performance, develop high-quality designs and deliver accurate, construction-ready engineering outputs.

You will contribute to projects from concept through to detailed design, construction and commissioning. You will also support technical proposals, design reviews, quality inspections and the ongoing development of engineering capability within the business.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced electrical engineer who enjoys combining hands-on technical involvement with engineering leadership, client engagement and mentoring within a growing consultancy.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and delivery of electrical engineering projects across LV/HV systems, resources, industrial facilities and infrastructure.
• Develop and review electrical engineering designs, including MCCs, transformers, PLC interfaces, electrical schematics, terminations and cable schedules.

• Prepare and review technical specifications, equipment datasheets, engineering reports and design documentation.
• Provide technical leadership, design assurance and engineering guidance to project teams, ensuring compliance with relevant Australian standards and client requirements.
• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary engineering teams, clients and external design partners to deliver projects from concept through to detailed design and construction.
• Contribute to tender submissions, technical proposals, and project planning, supporting the successful delivery and commercial performance of projects.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships, identifying opportunities to expand BEE's engineering services and contribute to future business growth.
• Promote safety in design, quality assurance and continuous improvement across engineering deliverables and work practices.
• Mentor and support the development of engineers, contributing to the growth of BEE's electrical engineering capability.

• Strong working knowledge of relevant Australian and international electrical engineering standards, including AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 61439, AS/NZS 3008 and other applicable industry standards.

About You

• 8+ years' experience in electrical engineering, ideally within an engineering consultancy, with exposure to resources, industrial, utilities, infrastructure or renewable energy projects.
• Demonstrated experience delivering electrical engineering designs across HV and LV systems, with a strong understanding of industrial electrical infrastructure, including MCCs, transformers, PLCs and associated electrical equipment.
• Experience preparing and reviewing engineering deliverables, with proficiency in relevant electrical design and modelling tools.
• Proven ability to provide technical leadership, review engineering designs and guide engineers through project delivery.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with a proactive and adaptable approach to working with clients, colleagues and project partners.
