What are you going to do
As a Senior OT Design Manager - Electrical and Instrumentation, you'll be responsible for leading the design and delivery of electrical systems and SCADA architecture for infrastructure projects. This includes concept design, switchboard modification, and development of engineering documentation and tender specifications.

You will demonstrate proven experience managing project design for infrastructure environments, including stakeholder engagement, technical documentation, and design compliance. You'll also be confident mentoring junior engineers and contributing to high-performing technical teams.
Candidates must be eligible for police clearance, drug and alcohol screening, and standard pre-employment verification checks. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and a commitment to safety, integrity, and design excellence are required.
What we offer
This is a 6-month contract role, commencing 1 July 2025, based in Leederville, offering up to $125/hour. You'll work within a technically strong, collaborative team on high-profile public infrastructure projects.
With flexible working options and a supportive culture, this is a unique opportunity to apply your OT design leadership on projects that directly benefit communities across WA.
