    Description

    Relocate to Australia and Join the Energy Revolution with a Global Leader

    Senior / Principal Transmission Lines Engineer (Relocation from the UK to Australia)

    If you're a UK-based transmission lines engineer feeling capped by the market, projects, or pace — this is your chance to step into a senior technical leadership role in Australia and work on some of the region's most significant grid and renewable energy projects.

    APD Global is inviting experienced engineers currently based in London or the wider UK to relocate to Australia and join our highly regarded GridLinkx transmission lines team. You'll gain exposure to large-scale infrastructure, accelerated career progression, and a lifestyle that genuinely supports work–life balance.

    About APD Global

    For over 25 years, APD Global has been delivering advanced engineering solutions across Power Systems, Renewable Energy, and Telecommunications. With around 1,000 people across 15 offices in Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia, we are known for strong technical leadership, collaborative delivery, and long-term client relationships.

    Our growth continues internationally, with new offices launched in Italy and Singapore in 2025, making this an ideal time to join the business and grow with us globally.

    The Opportunity

    We are seeking a Senior / Principal Transmission Lines Engineer (Civil / Structural) to relocate from the UK to Australia and join one of the strongest transmission engineering teams in the Asia-Pacific region.

    You'll be based in one of our Australian offices (Perth or Adelaide) and will play a key role in the design, delivery, and technical leadership of overhead transmission line projects, supporting major utilities and renewable developers.

    This role suits engineers who want:

    • Broader technical authority
    • Faster progression than typically available in the UK market
    • Exposure to large, complex HV projects
    • A long-term future in Australia

    What You'll Be Doing

    • Leading and supporting the planning, design, and construction of overhead transmission lines
    • Delivering high-voltage transmission tower designs (up to 500kV)
    • Using PLS-CADD, PLS-TOWER, and PLS-POLE at an advanced level
    • Providing technical guidance, mentoring, and peer review
    • Working closely with clients, project teams, and external stakeholders
    • Applying Australian and international standards across transmission projects

    What We're Looking For

    • Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering
    • 12+ years' experience in transmission line design and delivery
    • Strong understanding of overhead line systems and structural behaviour
    • Foundation design experience will be highly regarded
    • Experience with international standards (UK, European, Australian, or US)
    • Familiarity with standards such as AS/NZS 7000, ASCE 74, ASCE 10 (or willingness to upskill)
    • Chartered status preferred (or ability to obtain CPEng in Australia)
    • Clear communication skills and a practical, delivery-focused mindset

    Why Make the Move?

    • Relocation to Australia with long-term career stability
    • Exposure to larger and faster-moving transmission programs
    • Clear technical leadership pathways
    • Competitive Australian salary packages
    • Flexible working arrangements where possible
    • Access to industry-leading tools and nationally significant projects
    • A lifestyle that genuinely balances career and personal life

    APD Global is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity, inclusion, and fairness at every level of the business.

    Applicants must be willing to complete a pre-employment medical and be eligible to obtain Australian working rights.

    Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
