Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Beca Full time

Join Beca's Primary / HV Substation Design team in this leading nationwide business

  • Play a lead role delivering Primary and HV Substation designs to enable the transmission, distribution and decarbonisation of energy throughout New Zealand and Australia.
  • Build your technical primary and substation design skills learning from Beca's leading subject matter experts, while developing and coaching the next generation of electrical engineers.
  • Work in a highly collaborative and diverse team environment, who are focused on your professional, personal and technical development, working together to 'make everyday better'.

Te whiwhinga mahi| The opportunity

In this role, you will be part of an international team of highly experienced electrical engineering specialists who together design and deliver a vast range of critical Power primary, substation and infrastructure related projects. You will gain wide-ranging experience through leading and working on a variety of project types that differ in scale, scope, geography, site and client types throughout New Zealand and Australia. The complexity, variety and type of projects you will be working on will enable you to step change your Primary and Substation design abilities, while also providing you with the opportunity to work within, and learn from, some of the industry's leading Power engineers, designers and technical leaders.

You will be using and applying your detailed design abilities, creating High Voltage (HV 220kV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV 500 kV) electrical conceptual and detailed designs for transmission and distribution clients using the latest in digital design technologies. You will be problem solving and delivering solutions across a variety of site considerations, client requirements, standards, equipment specifications, cabling sizing, earthing design calculations, and safety standards building on your power systems engineering capability. This project variety will enable you to develop your own technical expertise while supporting the delivery of high-quality technical advice and project designs to our clients. In addition, this role will enable you to help mentor, coach and develop the next generation of Power electrical engineers, helping them to undertake packages of works, supporting their on-the-job and technical training developing their careers. You will be contributing and supporting the Power team's commitment to delivery excellence, quality assurance, and high-quality design. Scope exists to be accountable for financial and programme outcomes on projects and work packages you are leading, as well as supporting client management, bidding, and the preparation of project proposals.

Our design and project roles are busy, with multiple work projects, differing client deadlines and changing timeframes. Your ability to work across multiple workstreams managing your time and deliverables will be important, as will being able to adapt to changing project deliverables and timeframes. Updating stakeholders early and often will be a key mantra that you work by, especially for those 'hard conversations' where project timelines are at risk of not being met.

You will be part of a team of Beca's leading design experts working collaboratively to deliver best in class designs. Career development opportunities exist including moving across technical, design, technology, people, client or business leadership pathways.

Mōu ake | About you

Your primary and substation design skills are grounded in solid fundamentals, proven through leading complex projects. You have experience delivering high voltage substation designs, ensuring quality and accuracy while guiding others. You understand key steps for producing substation layouts, equipment lists, clearance checks, and HV cable designs, and are familiar with New Zealand and Australian regulations. Proficiency in CYMCAP, CDEGs, Autodesk SBS, Inventor, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and/or MicroStation is advantageous.

You are motivated to learn and grow within a team, managing multiple tasks with enthusiasm and a focus on outcomes. You excel in building credible relationships across functions and disciplines, collaborating effectively with clients, contractors, and community groups. You're passionate about learning, engaging, and supporting others, with a positive attitude and a good sense of humour.

You'll be a valued team member with opportunities to grow your career, contribute to the Power team's success, and work on projects in New Zealand and Australia. Our colleagues come from diverse backgrounds, including client, consultancy, design-build contractors, and industrial businesses. We invite applications from a broad range of backgrounds.
