AECOM is hiring a Principal Electrical Engineer - Rail

Our rail team in Queensland is continuing to grow, supporting a strong pipeline of work with Queensland Rail and across broader infrastructure programs. Our current and upcoming projects are heavily focused on infrastructure electrical delivery, including Zero Emissions Bus (ZEB) infrastructure, HV electrical systems, and lighting design giving you the opportunity to work across both rail and adjacent transport electrification projects shaping the future of Queensland’s network. This role has been created to support that demand and deliver practical, high-impact electrical solutions across a diverse portfolio of infrastructure projects. How you’ll make a difference: Deliver high‑quality technical design across infrastructure electrical works — HV systems, substations, and distribution networks — with a strong focus on constructability and safe operation. Shape the rollout of Zero Emissions Bus (ZEB) infrastructure by contributing to concept, detailed design, and integration that support sustainable transport outcomes. Lead and support HV electrical works, managing design, system integration, and interfaces with existing networks to ensure reliable cutovers and operations. Develop lighting and HV design solutions across rail and adjacent transport infrastructure projects, optimizing performance, safety, and lifecycle cost. Provide subject matter expertise aligned to Queensland Rail standards and broader infrastructure requirements, ensuring designs meet assurance and compliance needs. Resolve technical interface challenges across multidisciplinary teams (civil, systems, structures, stations) to deliver integrated outcomes. Support assurance activities — design reviews, verification, and compliance documentation — driving right‑first‑time delivery.
