  • Established career path and progression opportunities
  • Sydney CBD Based – Hybrid (WFH 1-2 days per week)

How will I Help?

Westpac Institutional Bank manages the financial needs of corporate, institutional and government clients. We are a leading provider of wholesale banking services in the area.

Reporting to the Director, Project Finance, as an Associate, you will be a part of the Project Finance team, which supports the origination and execution of Project Finance transactions. The Westpac Project Finance team is considered a leader in financing renewable energy projects and infrastructure and PPP transactions within the Australian market. The role offers the opportunity to work on high profile nation-building infrastructure projects and to work on transactions that support the growth of Australia's renewable energy and transition metal industries (in line with Westpac's recent Net Zero Banking Alliance commitment).

You will support the origination and execution of Project Finance transactions by evaluating the credit quality of complex debt transactions across the Power & Renewables, Infrastructure & PPP and Natural Resources sectors.

Key aspects of the role will include:

  • Evaluation and analysis of complex financial models
  • Compiling credit papers, RFP submissions, pitches and sector research and business development materials
  • Evaluation of technical, market, legal, insurance, financial and other due diligence.
  • Coordination of workstreams with relationship managers, syndications, risk, financial markets, portfolio teams and other internal/ external stakeholders

What's in it for me?

This is a highly successful team, and this role will be based within the Project Finance team and work closely with the wider Debt Products team, Relationship Managers, Industry Analysts, Financial Markets, Legal, and Credit. Through these interactions you will continue to refine your business and commercial acumen and further develop your professional network.

On a personal note, whatever shape your family takes, we offer generous paid and unpaid parental leave for your nominated primary and support carers. This includes leave to organise adoptions, surrogacy, and foster care arrangements. And we continue to pay your super contributions while you take all the time you need to get your new family settled.

What do I need?

To be successful in this role, you will have demonstratable experience in an analytical position within a banking, equity, or consulting / advisory role, working on Project Finance or similar complex debt transactions. Candidates with a legal or engineering background in the Project Finance sector may also be suitable.

You must have the ability to build and maintain collaborative relationships with key internal and external stakeholders and will ensure complete compliance to relevant policies and procedures. You will be able to work to tight timeframes in a deal driven environment and will have a working knowledge of debt structures and products.

Some further advantageous skills:

  • Financial and/ or credit analysis skills
  • Experience with Project Finance or complex debt transactions
  • Experience within the renewable energy, infrastructure and/ or natural resources sectors
  • Strong cash flow modelling skills
  • Refined communications skills, both written and verbal

What is it like to work there?

For the past 200 years, we've been backing people, businesses, communities, and ideas. As Australia's first bank, we've adapted and evolved, inspired by our customers and a genuine desire to create better futures.

Together, we're creating better futures for all our people, customers, communities, and shareholders. This has been our enduring Purpose.
