The Role
As the Delivery Manager, you will lead and oversee the commissioning and acceptance phase of large-scale BESS projects across Australia. You'll ensure all systems—from PCS and EMS to balance‐of‐plant (BOP) and grid connection interfaces—are tested, validated, and fully compliant with Australian standards and grid operator requirements (including R2 testing).
This is a hands‐on technical leadership role requiring strong coordination with EPC partners, grid operators (AEMO, DNSPs), and internal engineering teams to deliver safe, reliable, and compliant
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and manage all commissioning activities for utility‐scale BESS projects, from pre‐commissioning through to final handover.
* Develop and execute commissioning plans, procedures, and schedules in line with project specifications and regulatory requirements.
* Coordinate with engineering, construction, and operations teams to ensure smooth transition from installation to energisation.
* Oversee R2 testing, site acceptance testing (SAT), and performance validation in compliance with AEMO, NER, and AS/NZS standards.
* Ensure safe energisation and integration of battery systems, PCS, transformers, switchgear, and protection systems.
* Manage and document test results, punch lists, and defect resolution prior to project handover.
* Liaise with clients, OEMs, and third‐party inspectors during factory and site acceptance testing.
* Ensure all testing and commissioning activities meet grid compliance, warranty, and contractual obligations.
* Provide technical leadership and mentoring to commissioning engineers and site technicians.
Requirements
* Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Power Systems, or relevant Engineering discipline.
* 8+ years' experience in commissioning or construction of large‐scale renewable or energy storage projects.
* Strong knowledge of high‐voltage systems, SCADA integration, EMS/PCS control, and protection systems.
* Demonstrated experience with R2 testing, grid compliance testing, and acceptance testing for utility‐scale BESS.
* Familiar with Australian grid connection processes (AEMO, DNSP, NER, R0–R2 stages).
* Excellent stakeholder management and reporting skills.
* Willingness to travel to project sites across Australia.
