  • Scope and review technical studies (noise, glint/glare, flicker, EMI, hydrology)
  • Manage met mast, LiDAR and solar monitoring vendors
  • Shape preliminary layouts and configurations with the wider team
  • Visit sites across AU/NZ; assess suitability and support approvals
  • Run technical due diligence on acquisition opportunities
  • Draft and negotiate technical specs and performance guarantees
  • Build effective stakeholder relationships and present clear technical reports
  • Drive Safety in Design and support budget preparation

Skills/experience

  • Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Renewable Energy or related field
  • Depth in wind/solar resource campaigns and energy yield analysis
  • Proficiency with PVsyst and leading wind tools (WAsP, WindPRO, WindFarmer)
  • Knowledge across solar, wind and BESS design and performance
  • Familiarity with AU/NZ standards and regulatory frameworks
  • Exposure to hybrid integration and interface risk management
  • Strong communication, autonomy and vendor management

Benefits

  • Career growth into broader technical leadership
  • Site exposure across Australia and New Zealand
  • Supportive, safety-first culture
