Electrical Engineer

The Electrical Engineer – Procurement & Constructability provides technical engineering support across procurement, equipment inspection, preservation, preassembly and constructability activities at the Goulburn facility. The role acts as the technical link between engineering, procurement, suppliers, warehouse operations and site installation teams, ensuring electrical equipment is compliant, prepared and installation-ready before being dispatched to site.
A key focus is identifying technical and constructability issues early, allowing inspection, preparation, testing and preassembly to be completed at the Goulburn facility wherever possible, reducing site-based labour, rework and delays.
