Solar Design Engineer (AU/NZ) - Work from home

The Electrical Design Engineer will provide remote design and drafting support across commercial renewable energy and design-and-construct electrical projects. This role will focus on producing accurate AutoCAD drawings, single-line diagrams, cable layouts, switchboard modification drawings, equipment layouts, schematics, and project documentation for solar PV, battery energy storage systems, low-voltage distribution, and associated electrical infrastructure.

• Develop electrical designs and drafting documentation for commercial renewable energy projects, primarily solar PV, battery energy storage systems, and associated electrical infrastructure.
• Prepare accurate single-line diagrams, cable layouts, equipment layouts, schematics, and construction drawings using AutoCAD.
• Support the electrical team with design-and-construct commercial electrical projects.
• Produce professional design drawings, construction documentation, and project records with minimal supervision.
• Assist with switchboard modification drawings, low-voltage distribution layouts, protection arrangements, and related electrical infrastructure documentation.
• Support cable sizing, voltage drop, fault-loop impedance, and protection calculation activities where PowerCAD experience is available.
• Review project requirements, technical information, engineering markups, and design inputs to produce clear and accurate drawing outputs.
• Ensure drawings and documentation follow internal drawing standards, project requirements, and relevant Australian electrical standards.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders to clarify design requirements, drawing updates, technical issues, and project deadlines.
• Maintain organised drawing files, design records, revisions, and supporting project documentation.
• Identify drafting or design issues, raise questions where required, and support practical solutions during the design process.
• Other position-level duties as they arise.

Requirements

• Electrical engineering qualification in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Minimum 3+ years’ experience in electrical engineering, electrical design, electrical drafting, renewable energy, commercial solar, battery storage, low-voltage distribution, or a similar role.
• Strong AutoCAD drafting and design capability, with the ability to produce accurate and professional electrical drawings with minimal supervision.
• Experience producing electrical single-line diagrams, construction drawings, cable layouts, equipment layouts, schematics, and related project documentation.
• Good understanding of low-voltage electrical distribution, protection, switchboards, and commercial electrical infrastructure.
• Experience with commercial solar PV systems, battery energy storage systems, or renewable energy projects is highly regarded.
• PowerCAD experience is highly desirable, particularly for cable sizing, voltage drop, fault-loop impedance, and protection calculations.
• Familiarity with Australian electrical standards is highly regarded, including AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 5033, AS/NZS 4777.1, and AS/NZS 5139.
• Strong written English communication skills, with the ability to document technical information clearly and professionally.
• Ability to work independently, follow drawing standards, manage priorities, and meet deadlines with minimal supervision.
• High attention to detail, with a strong commitment to accuracy, drawing quality, and well-maintained documentation.
• Comfortable working remotely with internal engineering and project teams.
