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.

As an Associate / Senior 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?

You’ll play a significant part of the future of a business that has been around for over 200 years. Our purpose is to create better futures together. So, we’ll back you in the development of your career, internal career prospects, and flexible working. You’ll also keep learning to grow your career, backed by a fantastic team of people with a can-do, supportive structure. 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 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’s it like to work there?  

We are a collaborative team of passionate people with a shared ambition to make a difference for our customers, our communities and each other. At Westpac, making a difference means creating impact, unlocking our own and each other’s passions, and transformative success stories to create better futures together.   

As well as competitive remuneration and a great culture, joining the Westpac family gives you access to a wide range of employee benefits to help you manage your priorities - whether that means family life, work/life balance, ambition to grow or all the little perks in between. 

We’ll empower you to shape your career path.  Through personalised upskilling, mentoring, and training opportunities, you’re in control of where you start and how you’ll grow.  

As an equal opportunity employer, we are proud to have created a culture and work environment that values diversity and flexibility – and champions inclusion.
