Fulltime - Graduate Electrical Engineer 

In my current role as a graduate engineer on the Hunter Power Project (HPP), I am part of a team responsible for the construction of two 300MW gas turbines. As a site engineer, my duties are focused on the early stages of planning, development, and execution, with on-site works yet to commence.

In preparation for the project, I am actively involved in creating and maintaining preliminary documentation, ensuring all necessary information is accurately captured and organized to facilitate smooth project progression once construction begins. I am also utilizing my software skills to identify more efficient methods for various tasks, streamlining processes, and optimizing project workflows in anticipation of the upcoming work phases.

As part of my role, I am collaborating with project stakeholders, including designers, contractors, and management, to establish effective communication and coordination channels. I am currently developing Work-Packs and Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) to ensure quality control and compliance with project requirements and industry standards once on-site activities start.
