Trina Storage is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of utility-scale battery energy storage system projects across Australia. The role is accountable for safely delivering assigned projects in accordance with contractual obligations, approved budget, programme, quality requirements and customer expectations—from contract handover and design coordination through manufacturing, logistics, construction support, commissioning, performance testing and final handover.

The Project Manager will act as the principal delivery interface between customers, owners, EPC contractors, consultants, network service providers, subcontractors and Trina’s global product, engineering, supply chain, commissioning, service, commercial and legal teams. The successful candidate will combine disciplined project and contract management with sufficient technical understanding to manage complex BESS interfaces, make sound delivery decisions and drive timely resolution of issues.

Key Responsibilities

1. Project Leadership and Governance

- Own the delivery of one or more utility-scale BESS projects from internal contract handover to completion, including clear definition of scope, governance, delivery strategy, responsibilities and acceptance criteria.
- Prepare and maintain the project execution plan, organisation structure, stakeholder plan, responsibility matrix, reporting cadence and decision‑making pathways.
- Lead internal and external project meetings, establish explicit actions and accountabilities, and elevate material issues with evidence‑based recommendations.
- Coordinate cross‑functional resources across engineering, procurement, manufacturing, quality, logistics, site delivery, commissioning, service, finance,



commercial and legal functions.

2. Contract, Commercial and Change Management

- Develop a detailed understanding of the supply agreement, technical schedules, performance guarantees, milestone schedule, payment terms, warranties, long‑term service interfaces and division of responsibilities.
- Maintain contractual correspondence, notices, deliverable registers and records required to preserve Trina’s commercial and contractual position.
- Identify scope changes, customer‑driven impacts, access or readiness constraints, delay events and additional work; coordinate timely notices, variation proposals, extension‑of‑time submissions and reservation‑of‑rights correspondence.
- Track milestone achievement, payment claims, securities, liquidated‑damages exposure, project cash flow, commitments, forecasts and cost‑to‑complete in coordination with finance and commercial teams.
- Ensure work outside the agreed scope is appropriately assessed and authorised before commitment, while maintaining constructive customer relationships.

3. Programme, Cost and Risk Control

- Develop and manage an integrated project schedule covering design, approvals, manufacturing, FAT, shipping, site delivery, installation interfaces, commissioning, grid compliance testing, performance testing and handover.
- Monitor critical path, dependencies,



float and resource constraints; implement recovery plans where progress deviates from the approved baseline.
- Maintain project risk, opportunity, issue, assumption and decision registers with clear owners, mitigations and due dates.
- Provide accurate weekly and monthly reporting on schedule, cost, safety, quality, technical progress, commercial status, key risks and decisions required.

4. Technical and Design Interface Management

- Coordinate technical deliverables and interfaces for battery systems, PCS/inverters, transformers, switchgear, auxiliary systems, protection, PPC, EMS, SCADA, communications and plant control systems.
- Ensure design responsibilities and interface boundaries are clearly defined and aligned across Trina, the customer, EPC contractor, consultants and third‑party vendors.
- Drive the review and closure of drawings, specifications, RFIs, technical clarifications, interface documents, design changes and document comments.
- Coordinate grid‑connection and generator‑registration interfaces, including required inputs and support for GPS/R1/R2 studies, AEMO/NSP hold points and compliance testing, without duplicating the responsibilities of specialist grid‑connection engineers.
- Challenge technical proposals where they create avoidable delivery, operability, compliance, warranty, safety or lifecycle risk, and ensure decisions are formally recorded.

5. Manufacturing, Quality, Logistics and Site Readiness

- Coordinate procurement and manufacturing status, FAT activities, quality documentation, release approvals, shipping, customs interfaces, delivery sequencing and site receipt requirements.
- Align equipmen
