Electrical Maintenance Program Lead

About Us 

At Transgrid, our work improves the lives of millions – from lighting up sports fields, schools and homes, to powering the wheels of commerce and everything else in between. Now it’s your turn to make it happen. 

This is an exciting time in the energy industry with the transition to renewable energy. Recent government policy documents outline plans to facilitate increasing transmission interconnection between states and development of renewable energy zones.

The Opportunity

In your new role, you will oversee the delivery of planned maintenance programs across critical electrical infrastructure, with a core focus on high‑voltage substation assets.

This is a senior technical role focused on program coordination, technical assurance and site support, working closely with contractors and internal stakeholders to ensure safe, efficient and cost‑effective maintenance outcomes. The role blends on‑site technical engagement with office‑based program planning and can be performed flexibly from any Transgrid depot, including Eastern Creek, Newcastle, Orange, Tamworth, Wagga or Yass.

Our ideal candidate will bring experience managing maintenance programs for substations or other complex electrical assets and enjoy owning delivery outcomes without formal line management.

About You

• Proven experience delivering planned maintenance programs for substations or comparable electrical infrastructure
• Electrical background (trade, technical or engineering) with exposure to high‑voltage or safety‑critical assets
• Strong capability in work scoping, program coordination, forecasting and contractor engagement
• Comfortable providing technical and site leadership alongside office‑based planning and reporting
• Confident stakeholder communicator who balances safety, quality, cost and delivery performance
