Senior Electrical Engineer

Job Description

Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy - fast. We're combining first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system. We raised $210M from top-tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, Box Group and strategic angels like Nico Rosberg, the Co-Founder of Solana and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify, Uber and more.

We're creating a fully integrated energy company: from developing solar, wind and hydrogen projects to real-time power trading and distributed energy installations. By selling directly to consumers, we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass on savings to customers.

But we're not stopping there. We're also building the Energy Network: a decentralised platform of smart devices to electrify our homes, shifting usage to off-peak hours and helping balance the grid. This network strengthens grid stability - a critical foundation for scaling AI data centers and other energy-intensive industries.

Purpose

Electrical authority across grid connection works, utility-scale solar PV, BESS, and data centre power infrastructure, from development through commissioning and handover. Owns and delivers electrical design while ensuring all systems (generation, storage, demand) are designed, installed, tested, and energised safely, compliantly, and to Australian requirements, providing assurance and challenge across consultants and design partners. Strong preference for candidates with substantial HV experience.

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
• Commissioning, testing, and energisation experience on HV infrastructure in the Australian context
• 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
• Biannual bonus scheme
• Fully expensed tech to match your needs
• Paid annual leave
