Development manager

Sydney
Phillip Riley
Posted: 15 April
Offer description

One of the world's largest renewable energy companies is exclusively partnering with Phillip Riley on the appointment of a Project Development Manager to support the growth of its Australian development portfolio.

This role will lead multiple renewable energy projects across wind, solar and battery storage from early-stage planning through to Final Investment Decision. You will work closely with internal technical, commercial and legal teams, as well as a broad range of external stakeholders, to ensure projects progress efficiently and responsibly through the development lifecycle.

This is an excellent opportunity for a project development manager to step into a role with an international IPP that has a huge pipeline of work. This is not an origination role.

Stakeholder & Regulatory Engagement

* Engage with planning and regulatory bodies to support project approvals.
* Build and maintain strong relationships with landowners, communities, media, and other stakeholders to support the project's social licence to operate.
* Coordinate with internal teams to ensure project priorities and timelines are met.
* Stay informed on renewable energy policy, regulatory changes, and industry developments.

About You

* Ambitious with 6+ years' professional experience in renewable energy, resources, consulting, planning or a related field
* Experience in progressing utility-scale wind, solar or BESS project development in NSW
* The ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team

* The opportunity to develop within a globally recognised renewable energy business
* Strong internal support and clear development pathways
* Competitive remuneration aligned to experience

Our client is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from diverse backgrounds.
