Integration Manager Secondary Systems

There’s never been a better time to be in energy. And there’s never been a more exciting time to be at Endeavour Energy.

More than 2.7 million people across New South Wales rely on us every day for the supply of safe and reliable power to their homes and businesses. We employ more than 1,700 people across our catchment, making us one of the largest employers in Sydney’s Greater West.

To work with us in this role, you don’t need to have any energy experience. We need talented people who are ready for challenge and growth and value a sense of care and belonging. Why? Because our vision is to lead the way with smarter energy solutions. Play your part in helping us to put the customer first and transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future for us all.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and technically accomplished Integration Manager – Secondary Systems to lead the development, governance and continuous improvement of Endeavour Energy's protection, control, SCADA and communications systems.

This critical leadership role sits at the intersection of engineering, technology and operations, ensuring that our Secondary Systems remain safe, reliable, cost-effective and fit for the future. You will oversee system architectures, standard designs, equipment specifications, commissioning and maintenance practices, while providing advanced technical leadership across the organisation.

Leading a team of highly skilled specialists, you will play a pivotal role in shaping technology strategy, driving innovation, supporting major transformation initiatives and ensuring our network continues to meet the evolving needs of our customers and the energy industry.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and optimisation of Secondary System architectures to improve network performance, reliability and cost outcomes.
• Manage the development and governance of standard protection and SCADA designs in alignment with ISO 55001 asset management principles.
• Oversee the evaluation, development and implementation of emerging protection and control technologies.
• Develop and maintain equipment specifications and manage supplier relationships and associated contracts.
• Lead the investigation, diagnosis and resolution of complex issues relating to protection and SCADA hardware, firmware, software and associated work practices.
• Manage the development and maintenance of standards, specifications, commissioning procedures, workplace instructions and testing requirements.
• Provide advanced technical leadership and support to operational, maintenance and design teams during both routine operations and emergency situations.
• Facilitate collaboration across engineering, operations, asset management and project delivery teams to drive continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.
• Oversee the delivery of technical training, competency development and assessment programs, including Protection & Control Technician qualifications and System Operator training.
• Monitor industry trends, emerging technologies and practices adopted by other utilities to identify opportunities for innovation and improvement.
• Lead, mentor and develop a team of technical specialists, ensuring capability and succession requirements are met.
• Foster a strong safety culture by driving accountability, leadership and continuous improvement in safety performance.

What You'll Bring

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical), or
• Registration as a Professional Engineer in New South Wales within the Electrical Engineering specialisation.

Desirable Qualifications

• Postgraduate qualifications in Asset Management, Risk Management, Engineering or a related discipline.

Licences

• Current Class C Driver Licence.
• General Construction Induction (White Card).

Essential Experience

• Significant experience in a senior engineering, technical leadership or systems integration role within utilities, energy, critical infrastructure, industrial automation or another complex operational environment.
• Demonstrated experience leading technical teams or multidisciplinary specialists, enabling experts to collaborate and make sound engineering decisions.
• Experience within Protection and Control, SCADA, substation automation, communications, industrial control systems, commissioning or a comparable complex engineering environment.
• Experience leading technology solutions through a controlled lifecycle, from requirements definition and testing through to pilot, approval, release and operational handover, supported by strong engineering governance, configuration management and change control.
• Experience introducing new technology into an operational environment and transitioning it into standardised, maintainable solutions, including documentation, training and knowledge transfer.
• Strong stakeholder leadership and commercial awareness, with the ability to communicate with technical and non-technical stakeholders and make risk-based decisions that balance safety, operational, cost and delivery considerations.

Transferable Experience

This role will work alongside experienced technical specialists across our Secondary Systems disciplines. We are not looking for one person to hold all of that specialist knowledge. Instead, we're looking for a technical leader who can bring people and disciplines together, understand how complex systems interact, ask the right questions and enable specialists to make sound technical decisions.

While experience in Protection and Control, SCADA, automation or communications would be valuable, we also welcome relevant transferable experience. You may come from systems or software engineering, mechatronics, industrial automation, control systems, telecommunications, IT/OT integration, commissioning, technical project delivery or another complex engineering or technology environment.

What matters is your ability to lead technical people, recognise when specialist expertise is required, work effectively with subject matter experts and turn complex technical challenges into coordinated, practical outcomes.

Capabilities

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

• Technical leadership: able to provide direction and make sound decisions without needing to personally be the subject matter expert in every discipline.
• Systems thinking: able to understand how engineering disciplines, technology, people, processes and operational requirements interact across an end-to-end system.
• People leadership and development: able to build capability, establish clear accountability and create an environment in which technical specialists can perform at their best.
• Problem solving and judgement: able to rapidly understand unfamiliar or complex technical issues, create clarity from ambiguity, identify critical risks and establish a practical path to resolution.
• Stakeholder influence: able to build trusted relationships, facilitate competing technical perspectives and influence outcomes across technical and non-technical teams.
• Change and improvement mindset: comfortable introducing new technology and ways of working, converting concepts into practical, repeatable solutions and continuously improving engineering practices and knowledge management.

Desirable Experience

• Experience across more than one Secondary Systems discipline, such as Protection and Control, SCADA, automation, communications or IEC 61850-based substation systems.
• Practical experience in commissioning, testing, systems integration or operational handover.
• Experience developing or implementing engineering standards, standard designs, base templates, specifications, testing requirements or approved technology solutions.

Why Join Us?

This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future technical direction of one of Australia's largest electricity distribution networks. You'll lead a highly specialised team, influence critical technology decisions, and contribute to the safe and reliable delivery of electricity to millions of customers across New South Wales.

At Endeavour Energy, you'll work alongside passionate experts, tackle complex technical challenges, and play an important role in supporting the transition to a smarter, more connected energy future.
