We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of utility-scale renewable energy projects (with Wind experience highly regarded) across Australia.

This role is accountable for the end-to-end delivery of construction-stage projects, from Financial Close through to Commercial Operations Date (COD). The successful candidate will act as an Owner’s Representative, ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and in line with Octopus’ commercial and technical objectives.

Own risks, issues and mitigations; drive cross-functional resolution across engineering, construction, commissioning and grid interfaces.

4. Stakeholder, Grid & Partner Management

Manage internal interfaces and external stakeholders (NSPs, advisors, contractors, investors) to enable delivery.
Secure timely decisions, approvals and information flow to keep programme milestones on track.

5. Reporting, Governance, HSE & Improvement

Provide concise monthly reporting on progress, cost-to-complete, key risks/issues and mitigations.
Prepare governance and investor updates that clearly link technical status to commercial outcomes.
Lead a safety-first culture and continuous improvement in delivery practices, compliance and lessons learned.

Qualifications

Core Experience

8–10 years’ experience delivering utility-scale renewable energy projects (solar, wind, and/or BESS)
Proven track record managing construction-stage delivery of large-scale renewable projects (with Wind experience highly regarded).
Experience operating in Owner’s Engineer, Developer, EPC or Client-side roles

Technical & Commercial Capability

Strong understanding of EPC contracts, risk allocation, and construction commercial frameworks
Demonstrated ability to manage complex contractor interfaces and delivery risks
Ability to assess technical issues within a broader commercial and investment context

Leadership & Decision Making

Proven ability to lead complex, multi-contractor project environments
Ability to make independent, risk-based decisions under time and information constraints
Strong stakeholder management skills, including engagement with senior and investment-level stakeholders

Strong working knowledge of Australian regulatory frameworks and standards
Eligibility to work in Australia

Performance Expectations

Success in this role will be demonstrated through:

Delivery of projects within approved schedule and budget baselines
Maintenance of strong safety performance (zero harm objective)
Accurate cost-to-complete forecasting and risk management
Achievement of timely COD and effective handover to operations
Clear, high-quality reporting and stakeholder communication
