You, along with the existing team, will be responsible for the delivery of connection studies in PSS/E, PSCAD and PowerFactory for new generation infrastructure connections to the NEM.

What does this look like day to day?

You will be completing modelling that can be connected to AEMO grid models, building simulation models and simulation studies to ensure generation projects and their connections comply with the performance requirements of the National Electricity Rules. You will be providing fit-for-purpose concept designs for proposed new connection projects, and modelling support for the design of HV substation and line projects.

With flexi-working and a 9 or 10 day fortnight in place, the salary band is from $140,751 to $161,746 for 9 days and $159 049 to $182,774 for 10 days +12.75% superannuation.

Finally, you have demonstrable experience understanding the NEM and remain up to date with associated rules and regulations.
