• Collaborate with senior management to shape the future of the Infrastructure Power practice, with a focus on succession planning, mentoring, diversity and inclusion.
• Contribute to industry development and professional presence, including involvement with organisations such as CIGRE.

We recognise that leadership and technical capability can be built through different career paths and industry experiences. We are looking for the following: 

• Highly skilled in electrical engineering, with strong capability in medium and high voltage systems (typically up to 66kV).
• Proven experience leading complex infrastructure or energy projects, ideally within a distributed or multi office delivery model.
