Instrumentation, Electrical, Control and Communications Engineer

About the Company


Join a dynamic and growing energy organisation contributing to the domestic gas supply and supporting the transition to a lower-carbon energy future. As the Instrument, Electrical, Control and Communications (IECC) Engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to make meaningful decisions, influence system performance, and work across a diverse portfolio of upstream energy assets.

This organisation is backed by experienced professionals in the conventional energy sector. With a long-term commitment to supporting domestic energy needs, the company is also exploring new ways to repurpose and optimise its infrastructure in support of the energy transition.

Operations include production, processing, and delivery of energy resources to the domestic market. The company is actively investigating how to maximise the use of its infrastructure—ranging from open-access processing to storage solutions for grid support during periods of low renewable output.

With a flat structure and an agile approach, the company values initiative, flexibility, and cross-functional expertise. Employees are empowered to contribute across disciplines, make impactful decisions, and help shape the company’s path forward.
