Company Description
This is an opportunity to join the Octopus Australia team in our Melbourne or Sydney office. The successful applicant will be able to join the Octopus Australia team on their mission to accelerate Australia's transition to a future powered by renewable energy.
We are looking for an associate / senior associate level energy projects solicitor to support the business through a period of exciting growth.
The successful applicant will have energy projects and construction experience in the Australian market. However, we value diversity and will consider talented candidates from other backgrounds.

This role reports to our Director & General Counsel.
Qualifications
You will be an associate / senior associate at a reputable law firm working on grid-scale renewable energy projects.
