Phillip Riley is partnering exclusively with a well-established Australian renewable energy developer and asset owner operating nationally. The business specialises in distribution-scale solar and battery storage projects, delivering fully integrated energy solutions.
Backed by a climate-focused investment group, they have strong financial support and a long-term growth strategy. With contracts signed yesterday for 10 new projects, they are entering a significant construction phase. This is a rare opportunity to join a scaling portfolio business that builds, owns, and operates its assets.
About the Role
Reporting to the Head of Delivery, the Project Manager will oversee multiple distribution-scale renewable projects (~5MW) from FID through to completion. You will step straight into a live portfolio, with 10 newly contracted projects moving into construction.
The role covers full project lifecycle ownership including technical, commercial, contractual, and delivery oversight. You will manage cross-functional teams across Construction, Procurement, Engineering, and Contracts.
Ideal for candidates seeking a move from Tier 1 EPC into a client-side, portfolio-focused environment with genuine long-term impact.
* Lead end-to-end delivery of multiple solar and BESS projects from mobilisation through commissioning and handover.
* Manage project cost, schedule, risk, and quality performance in line with approved budgets and plans.
* Oversee contract administration, variations, and claims to safeguard MPower's commercial position.
* Coordinate detailed design reviews, grid connection milestones, and commissioning with internal teams and contractors.
* Champion compliance with their HSEQ and ESG frameworks, ensuring safe, responsible, and high-quality delivery.
About You
* Tertiary qualification in Engineering, Construction Management, or Project Management.
* 8+ years' experience managing large-scale infrastructure or renewable energy projects.
* Proven capability managing distribution-connected assets (11/22/33kV).
* Strong commercial acumen and contract administration skills under Australian Standards.
* Proficient in Primavera/MS Project and project management systems such as Procore.
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to join a rapidly scaling Australian renewable energy business with strong financial backing and a secured project pipeline.
You'll gain exposure across a live portfolio of projects rather than a single build.
The leadership team is experienced, commercially astute, and focused on long-term asset ownership. With 10 newly contracted projects entering construction, the growth phase is immediate and tangible. The role offers genuine progression, stability, and long-term impact within Australia's energy transition.
