Grid Connections Manager | Renewable Energy Developer & IPP | NSW/QLD/VIC/SA

We're partnering with a global renewable energy developer and IPP that's building out a responsible pipeline across wind, solar and battery storage in the Australian market. They invest, develop and operate their own assets, so you'll be seeing projects through from grid connection application to energisation, working for a business that holds the asset long after COD.

What you will be doing:
Leading grid connection applications across a pipeline of wind, solar and BESS projects, from initial enquiry through to connection agreement
Managing the AEMO and NSP relationship for connection applications, including R0/R1 packages and negotiation of connection offers
Overseeing preparation and review of Generator Performance Standards and supporting technical studies
Managing external consultants delivering PSSE, PSCAD or PowerFactory modelling work
Coordinating Energetic Model Acceptance Testing and compliance activities through to CIS
Working closely with development, engineering and commercial teams to keep grid connection risk visible and managed through project milestones




Acting as the internal point of technical authority on grid connections matters for the Australian portfolio

What they are looking for:
Strong working knowledge of the NER and the AEMO grid connection process
Experience managing connection applications and negotiations with NSPs
Familiarity with Generator Performance Standards, GPS negotiation and 534A/B correspondence
Comfortable directing and reviewing PSSE, PSCAD or PowerFactory studies, even if not personally modelling day to day
Prior experience on renewable generation or BESS connection projects in the NEM
Confidence managing consultants, timelines and multiple live connections at once
Dynamic and agile individuals, capable of adapting to a fast-paced and changing setting

Why this one is worth a conversation:
You're joining the investor and asset owner, not a consultancy passing projects through. You get to see the long-term consequences of the decisions you make at connection stage
A live, funded pipeline of wind, solar and BESS projects, not a single-asset role
A genuinely global platform with development and technical resources to draw on, but a lean local team where your judgement carries real weight
Real career development pathways
