Grid Connection Manager - Utility-Scale BESS and Renewables East Coast Versatile This is a role for someone who wants to own the connection outcome, not run the models.

Our client is an established renewable energy developer with a utility-scale battery storage and hybrid pipeline across the NEM. They are bringing grid connection capability in-house and need a leader to run it across the portfolio.

The role You will lead grid connection across multiple projects at once, from early connection strategy through R1 and R2 to registration. You will be the person AEMO and the NSPs deal with, and the person the business relies on to know where every connection stands and what could slow it down.

You will also build something. The business wants in-house GPS capability rather than depending entirely on consultants, and you will shape what that looks like, how big it gets and who joins it.

What you will do

Lead the R1 and R2 process across the project pipeline

Own the technical and commercial relationship with AEMO and the NSPs

Build the in-house GPS capability and grow the team around it

Manage external modelling consultants on scope, quality and programme





Run the issue trackers and keep connection milestones on trackAdvise development and investment teams on connection risk, timing and cost

What this is not This is not a hands-on modelling role. You need to understand PSCAD and PSS/E well enough to challenge a consultant's results and defend a position with AEMO, but your job is to lead the work, not produce it.

What you will bring

A track record taking utility-scale projects through the NEM connection process, including 5.3.4A, GPS negotiation and R1 and R2

Established working relationships with AEMO and at least one NSP

Experience directing modelling consultants and holding them to programme

The judgement to know which technical issues to fight and which to concede

A background in power systems, whether from a developer, consultancy, NSP or AEMO

Why this role

Portfolio scope rather than one project at a time

A mandate to build a function, not inherit one

Direct influence on which projects progress and when

A business with capital behind its pipeline
