About the Opportunity
EnergyCo’s Project Interface and Strategic Coordination Branch is currently seeking to appoint a Manager Project Coordination to drive the Branch’s strategic initiatives, leveraging expertise in project management gained from government projects to identify opportunities to optimise the development and delivery of infrastructure programs. These initiatives are essential to advancing the NSW Government Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap and supporting EnergyCo’s role as Infrastructure Planner of the declared Renewable Energy Zones.
The Project Interface and Strategic Coordination Branch collaborates closely with various project and corporate branches of EnergyCo as well as a diverse range of relevant government agencies to drive the scoping, coordination and delivery of state-wide enabling infrastructure and related programs across roads and transport, ports capacity and infrastructure, workforce accommodation, telecommunications, water and waste management and other logistic and supply chains.

The Manager Project Coordination will play a key role in ensuring the successful implementation of dynamic, large-scale projects that are pivotal to shaping the State’s renewable energy future.
