Principal Engineer - Asset Integrity & Maintenance

Job Title: Principal Engineer - Asset Integrity & Maintenance Company: Endeavour Energy Job Category: SAP PM Roles & Responsibilities: 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. This is an opportunity for an experienced engineering professional to take a leading role in shaping how Endeavour Energy manages the integrity, reliability and maintenance of critical electricity network assets. Working across transmission, distribution and zone substation asset portfolios, you’ll apply asset management principles, FMECA, Reliability\-Centred Maintenance (RCM), RAMS and risk\-based engineering to improve reliability, availability, maintainability and safety outcomes. This role suits someone who enjoys getting to the root of complex asset problems, challenging established approaches with evidence and translating engineering analysis into practical decisions that can be implemented in the field. * Shape maintenance standards and practices by leading the review and continual improvement of maintenance standards, policies, processes and procedures across designated network asset portfolios. * Develop risk\-based maintenance strategies using FMECA, RCM and RAMS principles to determine economically justified maintenance tasks, intervals and intervention strategies. * Lead complex asset failure investigations, identifying root causes, contributing factors and recurrence risks and turning findings into practical corrective actions and organisational learnings. * Develop and enhance asset risk models, including probability\-of\-failure (PoF) and consequence assessments covering reliability, safety, financial, bushfire, environmental and vegetation\-related risks. * Provide Principal Engineer\-level technical authority, supporting field operations, maintenance, asset engineering and investment teams with evidence\-based engineering advice and assurance. * Support regulatory and investment decisions by developing technically defensible engineering justifications, cost\-benefit assessments and risk\-based recommendations across OPEX and CAPEX. * Connect engineering with operational reality, ensuring maintenance strategies account for asset condition, network context, field constraints, safety and whole\-of\-life asset performance. * Work across the organisation, partnering with Asset Engineering, Asset Investments, ePMO, Reliability \& Resilience, Safety, bushfire, environment, vegetation management, Field Operations and System Operations. * Lead complex work with a high degree of autonomy, escalating material strategic, commercial, safety and risk matters while maintaining ownership of technical outcomes. * Build engineering capability, mentoring junior and mid\-level engineers and supporting strong technical discipline, data quality and continuous improvement. This position goes beyond maintaining existing standards. You’ll help evolve the way asset integrity and maintenance decisions are made across complex network portfolios. You’ll balance reliability, safety, bushfire, environmental, customer and financial consequences while ensuring maintenance and refurbishment decisions remain aligned with Endeavour Energy’s risk\-based asset management framework and relevant standards and regulatory obligations.
