Senior Energy Engineer

The world’s biggest challenge needs you, here.

Big challenges require big solutions. And the transition to a net-zero world is about as big as it gets. Working at Shell Energy - one of Australia’s leading energy retailers - puts you at the heart of that endeavour.

Lead the change, from the frontline

Join Shell Energy’s New Growth & Delivery team as a Senior Energy Engineer based in Melbourne and play a key role in driving Australia’s clean energy transition. 

In this hands-on, senior role, you’ll deliver innovative energy projects across a diverse mix of technologies from white paper certificate initiatives to large-scale consultancy work. You’ll work closely with industry leaders to scope, manage, and deliver technical solutions that help commercial and industrial customers reach their sustainability goals, while mentoring the next generation of engineers within a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.

With respect, integrity and honesty, responsibilities include:

• Lead the delivery of white paper certificate projects from concept to completion — managing budgets, quality, timelines, and client reporting.

• Provide technical expertise and guidance across energy transition initiatives, including emissions reduction planning, renewable energy, and energy storage solutions.

• Build strong client relationships through effective communication, presentations, and site visits, ensuring exceptional project outcomes.

• Support the development and continuous improvement of engineering processes, tools, and methodologies to enhance project delivery.

• Collaborate with the wider Engineering and Sales teams to optimise product development and strengthen Shell Energy’s market-leading position.

• Mentor and peer-review the work of other engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and innovation within the team.

Here’s what you’ll need to thrive in this role:

• Proven success in the technical and financial delivery of projects within a consulting or commercial environment.

• Strong understanding of energy use, emissions reduction, and renewable technologies in the Australian market.

• Exceptional project management, data analysis, and client relationship skills, with a knack for translating technical detail into clear insights.

• High level of initiative, problem-solving ability, and communication skills, both written and verbal.

• A collaborative, proactive approach thriving in a team that values innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement.

• Degree-qualified in engineering, science, or a related discipline, with at least five years’ experience in the energy industry.
