With an increasing focus on renewable energy, electrical engineers are in a position to be part of the transformation of the Australian power industry from traditional fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
 

You may work in the electrical supply industry where your knowledge of transformers, motors and generators is needed across all areas of operations.
 

RMIT graduates have gone on to work at a range of organisations including:

• Ausnet Services
• Jemena
• Middleton Group
• Snowy Hydro
• United Energy
• Wilson Transformer Company
   

Public transport providers also need electrical engineers to develop and maintain the systems that keep trains running and signals operating. With a push to modernise railway infrastructure, engineers are in demand. Within the manufacturing industry robots and automation have become essential elements, and electrical engineers are now called on to design and develop the next-generation control systems that enable this. With the increasing prevalence of data analytics across disciplines, there is an increasing demand for engineers with these skills.
