About the role
Join Alinta Energy and play a pivotal role in the delivery of the Marri Wind Farm, a landmark renewable energy project located approximately 140km north of Perth. Set to harness the region’s significant renewable energy resources, support energy security, regional economic activity, and Western Australia’s broader decarbonisation objectives, this major development will play an important role in the state's energy transition. As Senior Project Engineer, you'll lead the technical streams of project delivery, providing engineering leadership across design, construction and commissioning activities while ensuring the highest standards of quality, compliance and performance are achieved.

You’ll get clear direction, genuine flexibility, and the support you need to grow, all while working on projects that make a lasting difference.

- Drive quality management throughout design and construction, ensuring what is built and commissioned aligns with approved technical requirements.
- Partner with contractors and stakeholders to identify risks, resolve technical challenges and support successful project delivery.
Your experience
- Tertiary qualifications in Engineering, ideally Electrical Engineering, although other disciplines will be considered.
- Significant experience delivering large-scale energy, power generation, transmission or major infrastructure projects.
- Strong technical expertise across design, construction, commissioning or operational phases of complex projects.
- Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams and managing external consultants and contractors.
