- Facilitate clear communication with internal teams, external stakeholders, and the community to keep everyone informed and engaged.
- Lead and develop a high-performing project team, focusing on alignment with business objectives and effective resource management.

Requirements

- Hold a technical bachelor’s degree, preferably with qualifications in engineering, construction, or project management.
- Minimum of 10 years’ experience in similar-sized projects (A$100m+) with a focus on energy infrastructure.
- Proven track record in managing construction teams and complex projects.
- Experience with major energy infrastructure, ideally including utility battery storage or transmission substations.
