ASSET ENGINEER JOB DESCRIPTION

Physical assets in regulated infrastructure do not fail all at once; they degrade in ways that are measurable, predictable, and manageable when someone owns that responsibility. An Asset Engineer holds that ownership: maintaining the condition, compliance, and performance of electrical and mechanical plant across sites operating under formal safety management systems and national engineering standards. The role sits within an asset management engineering team, working across condition assessment, renewal planning, and incident investigation. E&P infrastructure and LV/HV electrical systems require a standard of technical judgement that makes this one of the more consequential individual-contributor positions in regulated engineering.

As the Asset Engineer, you are responsible for the integrity and performance of physical plant assets within a regulated infrastructure environment, translating condition data and risk assessments into prioritised intervention plans that protect both safety compliance and operational continuity. You work within an asset management engineering team, contributing to renewal programmes, assurance activities, and the maintenance of accurate asset records across a portfolio governed by national safety and technical standards.

Career Impact: Developing chartered engineering competency in regulated asset management, across safety case governance and E&P renewals, positions you for senior roles that few engineers outside regulated infrastructure can credibly fill.

Business Impact: The asset intervention plans you produce determine whether regulated plant remains compliant and operational; a missed condition signal or miscalculated renewal window has direct consequences for network reliability and regulator standing.

Growth Opportunity: Engineers in this role routinely progress to Senior Asset Engineer or lead positions with national-standards remit, as the combination of condition assessment experience and safety management exposure is in short supply across the sector.

• Develop and maintain asset condition assessments for physical plant, informing renewal and intervention prioritisation across the portfolio.
• Lead the specification and acceptance of renewal and refurbishment requirements for engineering assets, including design review and compliance sign-off.
• Contribute to route and site asset management plans, integrating condition data into long-range CAPEX and delivery planning cycles.
• Conduct scheduled asset surveillance inspections and manage corrective actions through to resolution.
• Support and lead incident investigations, identifying root causes and coordinating engineering verification activities.
• Ensure asset records accurately reflect current configuration, modification history, and as-built status in the asset management system.
• Provide technical input to enhancement and delivery projects, confirming renewal requirements are correctly interpreted and accepted deliverables are met.
• Advise stakeholders on the consequences of deferring recommended interventions, including impact on asset performance measures and regulatory compliance.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent work experience in a regulated engineering environment.
• 3 or more years of asset engineering experience, with demonstrated involvement in condition assessment or renewals within a regulated industry.
• Working knowledge of safety management systems and risk assessment techniques applicable to physical infrastructure.
• Ability to interpret and analyse asset condition data and translate findings into actionable intervention or renewal recommendations.
• Understanding of engineering policy, technical standards, and performance requirements relevant to regulated plant operations.
• Experience maintaining or contributing to asset records and configuration management within an enterprise asset management system.
• Effective communication skills, with the ability to convey technical findings to non-technical stakeholders including regulators and client representatives.

• Chartered Engineer status, or active progress toward chartership through a relevant professional institution.
• Certification or Diploma-level qualification with the Institute of Asset Management, or demonstrable applied knowledge of asset management frameworks.
• Experience in incident investigation and engineering verification programmes in a safety-critical environment.
• Familiarity with investment processes, programme management, or CAPEX planning cycles in regulated infrastructure.

• Asset condition database currency rate, measuring the proportion of assets with up-to-date inspection records.
• Renewal work bank delivery rate, tracking planned E&P or electrical interventions completed on programme.
• Corrective action closure rate within agreed timeframes following surveillance inspections.
• Incident investigation completion rate against the site verification programme schedule.
• Ratio of proactive to reactive interventions within the managed asset portfolio, indicating maintenance strategy effectiveness.
• Typical tools: enterprise asset management platforms (commonly SAP PM or equivalent); condition monitoring and reporting systems (commonly spreadsheet-based or CMMS-integrated).

• Base Salary Range: $75,000 to $105,000 per year, depending on seniority and regulated industry experience
• Bonus: Annual performance bonus of 5% to 12% of base salary, tied to programme delivery and asset performance targets
• Equity: Equity is uncommon in this sector; some employers offer deferred compensation or profit-sharing
• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer contribution typically covers 70% to 85% of premiums
• PTO: 15 to 20 days annually, plus federal holidays and site-specific shutdown periods
• Common Perks: Professional membership sponsorship, chartership support, training budget for asset management certification, and site travel allowance
