Type: Full-Time | Hybrid / Remote
About the Company
A fast-growing clean energy company delivering behind-the-meter embedded network, solar, and battery projects for commercial, retail, and mixed-use developments across Australia. Backed by private equity and driven by a culture of ownership, collaboration, and innovation, the business is scaling rapidly across the NEM states with a strong project pipeline exceeding $30M annually.
The Role
The Project Manager will oversee the design, conversion, and delivery of embedded networks, integrating solar PV, BESS, and metering systems across brownfield and greenfield projects.
You’ll work closely with developers, contractors, and engineering teams to scope, design, and manage complex electrical projects from feasibility to commissioning.
This role suits a hands-on project manager who understands both the technical and operational intricacies of embedded networks and thrives in the field as much as in the office.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead embedded network conversions (brownfield) and integrations (greenfield) including MSB upgrades, metering design, and solar/BESS connection.
- Manage project scope, schedule, budget, and risk across multiple concurrent projects.
- Conduct site assessments and oversee overnight conversion works when required.
- Coordinate internal design, procurement, and delivery teams to ensure compliance and quality.
- Liaise with developers, contractors, and DNSPs to deliver compliant, cost-effective outcomes.
- Ensure all projects meet AS/NZS 3000, EN regulatory standards, and internal QA/SHEQ processes.
- Contribute to continual improvement of safety, design, and delivery frameworks.
- Electrical Engineer or Licensed Electrician with strong embedded network experience (essential).
- Proven background in commercial solar and BESS project management.
- Hands-on and field-capable—comfortable leading site conversions and coordinating trades.
- Strong communicator who can liaise confidently with developers, contractors, and internal teams.
- Open to travel across the East Coast and occasional overnight conversion shifts.
- Highly organised, commercially minded, and motivated by delivering projects that scale renewable impact.
- Join a rapidly growing, PE-backed energy business with a culture of ownership and shared success.
- Exposure to cutting-edge embedded network and microgrid projects across C&I and residential portfolios.
- Hybrid work environment, vehicle allowance, and participation in employee share/option plans.
- Opportunity to play a key role in shaping how Australia’s distributed energy systems are built.
