Senior Business Developer / Project Director About the Company
Our client is a leading international renewable energy developer and independent power producer with a significant and growing footprint across Australia.
Backed by long‐term capital and a strong global platform, the business develops, builds, owns and operates large‐scale renewable energy and storage assets. With an established pipeline across wind, solar PV and battery storage, the organisation is entering a critical delivery phase on several flagship projects.
An opportunity now exists for a senior commercial leader to take ownership of late‐stage development assets and drive them through financial close and into execution.
Scope
Reporting into the Renewables leadership team, you will take full accountability for leading one or more utility‐scale renewable energy projects (initially focused on wind) through late‐stage development, financial close and transition toward construction.
This is a senior, commercially focused role requiring strategic leadership across technical, financial, contractual and stakeholder workstreams.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading multidisciplinary project teams across development, technical, commercial and finance streams
* Driving projects to financial close within approved timelines and budgets
* Coordinating key workstreams including land & approvals, EPC & O&M, commercial structuring and project finance
* Managing relationships with off‐takers, equity partners, lenders and industrial partners
* Engaging with AEMO, TNSPs and broader NEM stakeholders
* Leading contract negotiation and procurement processes (EPC, O&M, supply, financing agreements)
* Ensuring coherence and risk alignment across all project agreements
* Preparing and presenting investment committee papers and board‐level reporting
* Managing project risk, quality frameworks and governance compliance
* Ensuring full compliance with planning approvals, EPBC conditions and financing covenants
* Participating in stage‐gate reviews and internal investment decision processes
* Supporting broader business development initiatives including acquisitions, tenders (e.g. LTESA/CIS), partnerships and strategic growth opportunities
This role sits at the intersection of development, finance and execution, and requires both executive‐level oversight and hands‐on commercial leadership.
About You
You are a highly experienced renewable energy leader with deep exposure to the Australian wind market and a strong track record delivering projects through financial close.
You will likely bring:
* 10+ years' experience in renewable energy project management and delivery
* Demonstrated experience leading Australian wind projects through financial close and ideally into construction and operation
* Strong understanding of Australian energy regulation within the National Electricity Market
* Deep commercial acumen and detailed understanding of project agreements and contracting structures
* Experience managing EPC procurement, O&M arrangements and complex financing structures
* Proven ability to lead and motivate multidisciplinary teams
* Strong stakeholder management capability across lenders, off‐takers, boards, regulators and communities
* Experience preparing and presenting investment committee and board materials
* Robust risk management and governance capability
* A strong commitment to health, safety and environmental standards
This opportunity will suit a senior renewable energy professional seeking to play a defining leadership role in delivering major Australian wind assets within a globally backed and growing platform.
