With flexible rosters, supported travel, and no requirement to relocate, you'll enjoy genuine lifestyle balance while gaining rare exposure to large-scale battery commissioning. This position will elevate your profile in the fast-growing energy storage sector and deepen your experience in high-voltage and renewable projects.

You'll join a large energy developer as the Commissioning Engineer, providing on-site oversight and technical assurance during the commissioning phase of a grid-scale battery project. The role focuses on ensuring the EPC contractor meets their obligations, identifying risks early, and representing the client's interests on site.
