Build & lead a national capability

This is not a role for someone who simply knows how to deliver underground reticulation.

I'm looking for someone who knows how to build a business around it.

I'm partnering with a growing Australian energy infrastructure contractor that is significantly expanding its capability across renewable generation and electrical Balance of Plant projects.

They are looking to appoint a General Manager - Reticulation to establish, grow and lead their reticulation capability.

The immediate chance is significant, with a major wind project providing the platform to build the function, but the remit goes well beyond one project.

The opportunity

You'll have the mandate to build the capability properly:

- Develop the reticulation business strategy and operating model
- Build and lead the delivery team
- Recruit the right engineering, construction and supervision capability
- Establish supply chain and subcontractor relationships
- Develop construction methodologies, systems and processes
- Own estimating, productivity, resourcing and delivery strategy
- Support tenders and identify future project opportunities
- Build relationships across developers, EPCs and the wider renewables market




- Understand where the next projects are coming from and position the business to win them
- Ultimately create a scalable, profitable national reticulation offering

The immediate project environment includes a substantial 33kV underground collection network as part of a major wind farm EBoP package.

But I'm not looking for someone to come in, deliver that package and leave.

The question is: can you use it as the foundation to build a business?

Who I'm looking fo r

You'll ideally come from wind, solar, BESS, transmission, utilities or major electrical infrastructure and have a strong understanding of underground HV/MV reticulation.

- More importantly, you'll understand the commercial market around it .
- You know how these packages are priced.
- You know how they're delivered efficiently.
- You know the contractors, suppliers and people.
- You understand productivity and margin.
- You can build teams.

And you know how to turn capability into a pipeline of work.

This could suit an existing GM, Operations Manager, Construction Manager or senior industry leader ready to build something with genuine ownership.

The business has the projects and ambition.

They need someone who can build the capability around them.
