Our client is building out one of Australia's most ambitious distributed battery storage platforms — targeted for full deployment in the next two years.
As the platform scales, they're looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead the protected, on-time and on-budget delivery of assigned sites, from FID through to energisation, registration and handover to Asset Management.
This is a genuine end-to-end delivery role.
You'll take FID-approved projects from the Origination and Development team and drive them through procurement, construction, commissioning and COD — applying a standardised, repeatable delivery model across multiple concurrent sites.
The Role
Own scope, schedule, cost, quality and HSSE outcomes for a portfolio of concurrent distributed BESS sites
Develop and maintain integrated project plans, critical-path schedules and resourcing to meet contracted offtake milestones
Build and run a standardised, multi-site delivery model — common scopes, BOP packages, schedules and controls
Manage project budgets, cost forecasts and cash-flow projections, identifying and correcting variances early
Lead project risk management through registers and governance forums
Lead and mentor project coordinators and engineers within the delivery team
Champion HSSE in design and construction, embedding safety-in-design and contractor WHS management
Manage BOP contractors, OEMs and subcontractors — negotiation support, performance, progress and commercial administration
Lead procurement: scope definition, RFQs, tender evaluation, supplier recommendations and PO management
Manage external stakeholders including landowners, DNSPs, local councils, utilities and regulators
Own commissioning and handover, ensuring clean technical, contractual and regulatory transfer at FID and COD
Coordinate connection approvals with DNSPs,



AEMO and relevant authorities to hit energisation and registration milestones
Drive defect rectification, punch-lists and warranty close-out
Report progress, cost, risk and schedule to the Delivery Director and governance forums
Run post-project reviews, feeding lessons learned back into the delivery framework
Drive continuous improvement in tools, templates and processes across the portfolio
About You
Bachelor's degree (or higher) in engineering, construction management, project management or a related discipline
7-10 years' experience in project management, project engineering or project delivery within BESS, large scale solar, renewable energy or infrastructure, including at least 3 years in a project management role
Proven track record delivering projects through the full lifecycle — development, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover with a focus on complex contracts
Strong understanding of Australian energy market frameworks: DNSP connection processes, NER requirements, AEMO registration and electrical safety standards
Experience managing EPC and construction contracts, including performance management, variations, claims and commercial administration
Proficiency with project management and scheduling tools such as MS Project, Primavera P6, Smartsheet or Procore
Strong financial acumen — budgets, cost forecasts, cash flow and commercial reporting
Excellent leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across technical and commercial teams
You'll be at the centre of a large-scale renewable energy build-out, shaping a unique new delivery model.
If you thrive on turning complex, multi-site programs into a repeatable, well-governed delivery machine — and want to leave a lasting mark on the energy transition — we'd love to hear from you.
