Utility-Scale Solar & BESS

Our client is a major player in the utility-scale renewables space, delivering large-scale solar and battery storage projects across Australia. They're looking for a Senior Project Manager to take end-to-end ownership of utility-scale delivery, from early-stage planning through to energisation.

The Role

You'll run utility-scale solar and/or BESS projects from the ground up, owning the full delivery lifecycle and acting as the central point of accountability across engineering, construction, procurement, and commissioning. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who has genuinely delivered utility-scale projects before, not just managed a slice of one.

What you'll be doing
Owning end-to-end delivery of utility-scale solar and/or BESS projects, from FID through to energisation and handover
Managing project schedule, budget, risk, and quality across the full project lifecycle
Coordinating engineering, construction, EPC, and commissioning teams
Managing relationships with landowners, network providers, contractors, and regulatory bodies
Leading project reporting and governance,



including client and executive-level updates
Identifying and resolving delivery risks before they become delivery problems

What You'll Bring
Proven experience delivering utility-scale solar and/or BESS projects end-to-end, not partial-lifecycle involvement
Preferred background at an OEM, with strong technical grounding in solar or battery systems
Deep understanding of grid connection, commissioning, and utility-scale construction processes
Robust stakeholder management skills across contractors, landowners, and network operators
Formal project management qualifications (PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent) highly regarded

Why Apply
Take full ownership of marquee utility-scale projects, not a supporting role
Join a business with a robust pipeline of large-scale solar and BESS work
Genuine seniority and autonomy, with a transparent path to lead a growing portfolio
Work at the pointy end of Australia's utility-scale energy transition
