Electrical engineering and high-voltage services for mining, oil & gas, and renewables
Powertech is a 300+ specialist electrical engineering firm operating across Australia and Southeast Asia, anchored in power systems commissioning, high-voltage protection testing, and equipment rental. The tech stack—Primavera P6, PSCAD, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, and IEC 61850 standards—reflects deep domain expertise in grid-scale asset management. Active hiring is engineering-heavy (59 of 64 roles) at mid and senior levels, concentrated on hydrogen, renewable energy, battery energy storage, and oil & gas projects; the pain-point list (skilled labor shortage, expanding HV maintenance capacity, BESS EPC scaling) signals growth-constrained by labor supply rather than market demand.
Powertech delivers electrical engineering, commissioning, and technical services to mining, oil and gas, renewables, infrastructure, and defence sectors. The service portfolio spans electrical design and installation, high-voltage relay and transformer testing, power management system commissioning, and the hire and sale of specialized test and measurement equipment. With operations across Australia and Southeast Asia and over 300 technical staff, the firm serves large-scale asset projects requiring commissioning, maintenance, calibration, and equipment expertise. The business is licensed as an electrical contractor across Australian jurisdictions and is expanding into hydrogen electrolyzer work, battery energy storage projects, and renewable energy infrastructure.
Core tools include Primavera P6 for project management, PSCAD and DIgSILENT PowerFactory for power systems simulation, IEC 61850 for substation communication, plus PLCs, DCS, and Schneider Electric and Siemens equipment.
Active projects span oil and gas, hydrogen electrolyzer commissioning, renewable hydrogen, power generation systems, iron ore, high-voltage substations, battery energy storage EPC, and HV protection system commissioning.
