One of Australia's leading renewable energy IPPs is seeking a Design Manager to support the continued growth of its generation and storage portfolio. This business owns and operates its own assets long term, so this is not a design-and-hand-off role. The successful candidate will be involved from early development through to construction and into operational performance, with real accountability for how designs hold up over the asset's life.
