Senior Project Development Manager - Utility-Scale BESS
Lead the Future of Energy Storage with a High-Growth, Well-Funded Developer. Drive projects to FID with agility, autonomy, and real impact.
The Opportunity
This is an exceptional opportunity for a seasoned, entrepreneurial-minded project developer to take on a pivotal role in a fast-moving, well-funded renewable energy company.
You’ll be joining a dynamic portfolio company backed by a globally listed investor in the energy storage sector, dedicated to developing, owning, and operating large-scale battery projects. With an impressive pipeline of nearly 2GW of battery storage and solar PV projects in Australia, this is your chance to shape the future of clean energy.
Why Join?
* Fast-Paced, High-Impact Environment – Unlike larger developers, we move quickly, cutting through red tape to get things done.
* Empowered & Agile Team – You’ll work alongside a small, high-calibre team where your ideas drive real outcomes.
* End-to-End Project Ownership – Lead projects through key development phases with the autonomy to make strategic decisions.
The Role
As Senior Project Development Manager, you’ll take the lead on multiple utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, driving them from mid-to-late-stage development through to Final Investment Decision (FID) .
What We’re Looking For
* A confident and emotionally intelligent leader, capable of engaging with communities and key stakeholders.
* Strong expertise in development approvals, environmental assessments, community engagement, and grid connection —you’ve done it all (or most of it) before and thrive in an autonomous role.
* BESS experience is preferred, but not essential for the right candidate.
* A self-starter who’s ready to be the 2iC of the project development team and drive projects forward.
