The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to step into a principal-level role on one of Western Australia’s most significant renewable energy programs. You’ll play a critical role in shaping projects at the earliest stages—driving them from concept and feasibility through to funding approval as part of a major programme of work.

Lead the development phase of high-value, energy infrastructure projects, including:

  • Defining project scope, strategy and governance frameworks
  • Leading feasibility studies across engineering, cost, schedule and approvals
  • Developing robust business cases and CAPEX for funding approval
  • Managing stakeholder engagement across government, landowners and industry
  • Identifying and mitigating commercial, regulatory and delivery risks You’ll be instrumental in progressing projects through the critical funding gateway—one of the most challenging and high-impact phases.

What You Bring

  • Demonstratable management experience in major infrastructure or energy projects
  • Strong background in study phase / development / feasibility stage of projects
  • Proven experience on high value projects ($300M+) within power, transmission or renewables
  • Ability to operate at a senior level across technical, commercial and stakeholder domains
  • Availability to start immediately or at short notice

Why This Role?

  • Influence projects before they reach delivery—high impact, high visibility
  • Fast-paced environment with real ownership and autonomy
  • Flexible engagement with strong likelihood of extension
  • Huge exposure within a highly anticipated programme
  • Highly competitive, negotiable rate

If you’re a senior project leader with development-phase experience and available to start now—this is one of the most compelling contract opportunities currently in the Perth market.
