Senior Electrical Engineer

Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.

We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.

This role is the electrical authority across grid connection works, utility-scale solar PV, BESS and data centre power infrastructure in Australia, from development through commissioning and handover. You'll own and deliver electrical design and ensure all systems (generation, storage, demand) are designed, installed, tested and energised safely, compliantly and to Australian requirements. Strong preference for candidates with substantial HV experience.

Responsibilities

• Act as electrical SME across grid, solar, BESS and data centre projects; produce and own electrical designs across the portfolio
• Develop design packages from concept through detailed design: single-line diagrams, equipment specifications, protection schemes, cable sizing and earthing and bonding
• Provide electrical input from development through handover; align design intent with procurement and construction and resolve technical queries
• Support technical due diligence and lender advisory; provide engineering assurance across all electrical deliverables and act as escalation point for complex issues

Requirements

• 5–10+ years of electrical engineering experience in power, utilities, renewables, or critical infrastructure; strong preference for substantial HV experience in the Australian market
• Proven design background, able to produce and own electrical designs, not only review others' work
• Strong infrastructure delivery experience across utility-scale solar, BESS, or grid-connected assets in Australia
• Deep understanding of electrical systems, substations, protection, and power distribution design (generation and demand)
• Working knowledge of Australian grid standards, including AEMO technical requirements, DNSP connection standards, the National Electricity Rules, and AS/NZS electrical standards, with the ability to interpret electrical studies
• Critical eye for reviewing consultant and subcontractor designs; strong grasp of Australian safety frameworks including the Electricity Safety Act, state-based electrical licensing requirements, and relevant codes of practice

Benefits

• Competitive salary and eligibility for equity
• Biannual bonus scheme
• Fully expensed tech to match your needs
• Private health insurance
• Breakfast and dinner allowance for office-based employees
• As we hire globally, benefits vary by location.
