About
We are seeking a Transmission Lines Engineer based on the East Coast of Australia.
This is a senior leadership role within one of the strongest transmission line engineering teams in the Asia Pacific. You will take full technical ownership across the project lifecycle — from concept and feasibility through to construction support — on major high-voltage transmission and renewable energy projects across Australia and New Zealand.
This role offers something rare: the satisfaction of seeing your designs progress from initial concept to infrastructure that is physically built and energised across the network.
Expectations
With over 90 years' combined experience, NES Fircroft (NES) is proud to be the world's leading engineering staffing provider spanning the Oil & Gas, Power & Renewables, Chemicals, Construction & Infrastructure, Life Sciences, Mining and Manufacturing sectors worldwide. With more than 80 offices in 45 countries, we are able to provide our clients with the engineering and technical expertise they need, wherever and whenever it is needed. We offer contractors far more than a traditional recruitment service, supporting with everything from securing visas and work permits, to providing market-leading benefits packages and accommodation, ensuring they are safely and compliantly able to support our clients.
