Electrical Project Engineer

Adelaide, SA, AU, 5000

The Project

The consortium of John Holland, Bouygues Construction, Arcadis Australia, Jacobs and Ventia has been selected to build South Australia's biggest-ever road infrastructure project. In partnership with the South Australian Government, this consortium forms the Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Alliance.

The Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Alliance, will deliver the final 10.5km section of the North-South Corridor, forming a continuous 78 km, non-stop, traffic light-free motorway, and contributing to a long-lasting legacy for the community and people of Adelaide.

The T2D Project involves constructing two separate tunnels – the Southern Tunnels and the Northern Tunnels connected by an open motorway, with a combined total distance of 10.5km, open to traffic in 2031. The T2D project comprises the tunnels, surface works including road and bridge construction in addition to services buildings and complex mechanical and electrical infrastructure. The T2D Alliance is committed to providing opportunities for local people, Aboriginal workers, apprentices, trainees and job seekers who are long-term unemployed and offers people an incredible opportunity to be a part of an iconic project.

• Work closely with construction supervisors, site engineers, designers, subcontractors and suppliers to resolve technical issues and coordinate interfaces between disciplines.

• Review drawings, technical specifications, design documentation, installation methodologies and construction work packs to ensure works are adequately planned and coordinated.

• Monitor installation progress, identify constraints and support the achievement of key construction milestones.

• Coordinate electrical installation activities, including cable routes, containment, cabling, terminations, equipment installation and associated infrastructure.

• Manage technical queries, design changes, requests for information and field-based engineering issues.

• Ensure works are delivered in accordance with relevant Australian Standards, electrical safety requirements, project specifications and quality procedures.

• Coordinate inspections, hold points, testing documentation, non-conformance management and corrective actions.

• Support subcontractor coordination, procurement, materials tracking and construction planning.

• Work with testing and commissioning teams to ensure systems are installed correctly, integrated effectively and ready for commissioning and operational handover.

• Maintain accurate engineering records, progress reporting, technical documentation and completion records.

About You

• Experience as a Project Engineer, Site Engineer or Electrical Engineer within infrastructure, civil construction, transport, utilities, rail, tunnels or major building services projects.

• Experience coordinating electrical installation packages, subcontractors, construction activities and technical interfaces.

• Knowledge of electrical distribution, substations, cabling, switchboards, communications infrastructure or electrical services.

• Exposure to ITS, CCTV, fibre-optic networks, CMS, traffic systems or other integrated infrastructure technologies will be highly regarded.

• The ability to interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, construction methodologies and project documentation.

• Experience supporting inspections, testing, commissioning, defect resolution and handover activities.

• Strong stakeholder management, problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams.
