About the organisation
Under the leadership of an experienced Chairman and Board of Directors, Queensland Hydro is a publicly owned entity established by the Queensland Government to design, deliver, operate and maintain long duration pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) assets.
Through the delivery of PHES assets foundational to the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan, Queensland Hydro will play a critical role in helping to meet the Government's renewable energy targets and net zero emissions by 2050, supporting the shift to a decarbonised energy system and offering a significant contribution to the Queensland economy.
About the role
As the inaugural CEO, this is an opportunity to leave your legacy, leading the vision for the future and driving Queensland Hydro through design, delivery, operation, and maintenance of long duration PHES assets.
Navigating a highly complex stakeholder group including Government, Business and Community at both a National and State level, you will develop the organisation from a project-based structure to a corporate structure without losing project momentum.
You will oversee the development of the strategic plan, establishing the company vision, purpose and core values and as business requirements evolve, lead and direct organisational growth, building a strong safety culture which is open, transparent, and accountable, inspiring a high-performance team which puts the stakeholder at the heart of everything they do.
Subject to final investment decisions, you will be accountable for the development and delivery of world-class pumped hydros - including PHES at Pioneer-Burdekin, which has the potential to be the largest in the world and a direct and contractor workforce of several thousand during project delivery.
About the person
A seasoned executive, you will be professionally qualified with experience in managing complex organisations and/or delivering large infrastructure projects.
You will have broad experience across diverse business functions with a proven ability to build positive purposeful relationships and genuinely engage with a variety of stakeholders.
With exposure to growth and adept at driving organisations within a high profile setting, you will inspire confidence and create trust, providing leadership that builds capability and engenders a culture of alignment and excellence.
