Senior Originator
to drive deal-making across

Cultivate high-level relationships across corporates, utility companies, energy retailers, trading desks, aggregators and storage optimisation firms
Partner closely with teams across Project Development, Finance, Legal, Trading and Engineering to push deals forward

Contribute to broader growth strategy, including combined renewables-plus-storage offerings
What We're Looking For
5+ years in energy deal-making, contract structuring, trading or a related commercial role
Demonstrated success closing power agreement deals with minimal oversight
Solid understanding of battery storage commercial structures — tolling deals, open-market exposure, optimisation approaches
Strong working knowledge of the Australian electricity market (NEM) — price behaviour, volatility, and the regulatory landscape
Sharp commercial instincts, with strong contract negotiation ability
A well-built network across the industry (corporates, utilities, retailers, trading firms, storage providers) is highly valued
Comfortable juggling several live deals at once in a rapid-moving environment
Strong analytical thinking and people-management skills
