Opportunity

CV Power & Renewables is seeking an experienced Project Manager to help tender and deliver Battery Energy Storage System and renewable energy projects.

Projects will typically range from $1 million to $25 million+, supporting facilities from approximately 5 MW to 100 MW.

CV operates as:

- A specialist Electrical Balance of Plant contractor on larger utility-scale BESS and renewable projects.
- An EPC contractor on smaller projects, typically from 5 MW to 50 MW, with responsibility for engineering, procurement, construction, integration, testing and handover.

The Project Manager will work with estimators, commercial managers, engineers and operational teams during tendering, before taking ownership of awarded projects through design, procurement, construction, commissioning and commercial close-out.

This is a hands-on contractor-side role with accountability for safety, quality, program, cost, client management and project margin.

Key Responsibilities

Tendering and Pre-Contracts

- Work with estimators, commercial managers and engineers to develop practical and competitive tenders.
- Review scope, drawings, specifications, contracts, programs and client requirements.
- Contribute to construction methodology, project staging, resourcing, procurement and subcontracting strategies.
- Identify delivery risks, scope gaps, interfaces, long-lead items, key assumptions and develop tender programs.
- Support tender clarifications, subcontractor engagement, client meetings and commercial reviews.
- Ensure tender allowances and programs reflect how the project will actually be delivered.
- Support the transition from tender to delivery through a structured project handover.

Project Delivery

- Establish new projects, including scope, budget, baseline program, procurement plan, risk register and delivery strategy.




- Lead safety and ensure HSEQ requirements are embedded in planning and site execution.
- Manage design coordination, procurement, subcontractors, construction, testing, commissioning and handover.
- Deliver specialist EBoP packages or complete smaller EPC projects, depending on the delivery model.
- Coordinate interfaces with clients, battery OEMs, civil contractors, NSPs, designers, suppliers and commissioning specialists.
- Manage project budgets, cash flow, commitments, cost to complete and Estimate at Completion.
- Protect CV’s commercial position through disciplined notices, variation management and subcontract control.
- Maintain accurate programs, progress reports, cost and margin forecasts and project records.
- Ensure ITPs, test results, redlines, as-builts and handover documentation are completed progressively.

Required Experience

- Project Manager or Senior Project Engineer experience within renewables, electrical infrastructure, substations, utilities or industrial power.
- Experience delivering projects or substantial packages in the $1 million to $25 million range.
- Experience supporting tenders, estimates, methodologies, programs, risk reviews and subcontractor pricing.
- Solid understanding of electrical BoP delivery, including HV/LV systems, transformers, switchgear, cabling, earthing, protection, controls or SCADA interfaces.
- Experience managing design, procurement, construction, subcontractors, cost, program and client relationships.
- Working knowledge of construction contracts, variations, EOTs, notices and change control.
- Ability to manage a specialist package within a larger EPC project and broader delivery responsibility on smaller EPC projects.
- Willingness to travel to regional and interstate project sites as required.

Highly Regarded

- Direct BESS, solar, hybrid-generation,



substation or grid-connection experience.
- Experience coordinating battery OEM, civil, electrical, SCADA/PPC and commissioning packages.
- Electrical trade and/or formal qualifications in engineering, construction management or project management.
- Familiarity with AS 4000, AS 4902 or EPC-style contracts.
- Experience with Microsoft Project, Primavera P6 or similar project controls systems.

Who We Are Looking For

We need a commercially capable, delivery-focused Project Manager who:

- Can contribute practical delivery knowledge during tendering and then take ownership after award.
- Takes responsibility and raises issues early.
- Is equally comfortable reviewing an estimate, visiting site, meeting a client or updating the cost forecast.
- Builds strong client relationships
- Holds internal teams and subcontractors accountable.
- Brings problems forward with facts and a proposed solution.

What Success Looks Like

The successful candidate will help CV pursue projects that are properly scoped, realistically priced and deliverable. Once awarded, they will establish and deliver projects safely, maintain control of cost and program, manage interfaces proactively and achieve strong commercial outcomes.

They will be capable of leading specialist EBoP packages on larger BESS projects and complete EPC delivery of smaller 5 MW to 50 MW projects.
