Job Opportunity for Renewable Energy Professional

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced professional to lead the development of large-scale renewable energy projects. The successful candidate will be responsible for advancing multiple complex infrastructure projects from concept through to construction-ready stage.

This is an autonomous role where you will take ownership of project origination, structuring, and progression. You will work closely with external consultants, coordinate approvals pathways, engage with government and regulatory agencies, and provide commercial input into offtake, grid connection, and financing processes.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of utility-scale energy projects, particularly in the areas of battery energy storage (BESS) and gas reciprocating engines. Experience in project development, commercial acumen, and excellent decision-making skills are essential for success in this role.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Originate, structure, and progress utility-scale energy projects.
  • Manage land access, permitting, and environmental approval processes.
  • Coordinate consultants and technical advisers across planning, engineering, and environmental disciplines.
  • Lead grid connection applications and liaise with network service providers.
  • Support commercial negotiations including offtake agreements, EPC, and O&M contracting.
  • Prepare internal investment cases and contribute to project financing activities.
  • Maintain strong stakeholder relationships with regulators, landholders, contractors, and community representatives.
  • Provide strategic input into portfolio growth and Reserve Capacity Cycle participation.

Requirements:

  • Proven experience in project development, preferably in large-scale energy, renewables, or infrastructure.
  • Strong understanding of approvals pathways, land tenure, and grid connection processes.
  • Commercial acumen with exposure to power purchase agreements, EPC contracts, or project finance.
  • Excellent decision-making, problem-solving, and organisational skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while managing multiple workstreams.

Why Join Us?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a business at the forefront of WA's energy transition. As a key member of our team, you will play a central role in shaping the company's next stage of growth and contributing to a sustainable energy future.
