About the Opportunity
Our EnergyCo NSW Project Commercial team is currently seeking to fill multiple Manager Project Commercial roles to manage commercial aspects of the Renewable Energy Zones (REZ) and other priority projects for the procurement of electricity transmission, generation and other assets. The roles manage development and implementation of commercial frameworks to ensure appropriate risk allocation, value for money for energy consumers, and contractual arrangements that realise the objectives of the NSW Government’s Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap and its enabling legislation, the Electricity Infrastructure Investment Act.
EnergyCo’s Project Commercial Branch oversees the development and delivery of commercial frameworks and provides advice and leadership to project teams and other stakeholders to support efficient and innovative delivery. The Branch’s work caters for the individual requirements of particular projects while ensuring consistency of approach across EnergyCo’s portfolio of projects. The Manager Project Commercial works closely with the Director, Project Commercial and project teams to implement commercial, financial and regulatory strategies and partnerships.

You will have well-developed interpersonal skills to collaborate and build strong relationships with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, as well as strong influencing and negotiation skills and capability to prioritise and drive outcomes under pressure.
You bring a results-driven approach and you are comfortable operating in a multi-disciplinary environment. Your background may be in a commercial, financial, project development, economic regulation, legal, investment management, or technical field.
With proven experience developing commercial strategies for large scale infrastructure projects in a complex environment, you have the demonstrated ability to exercise sound judgement independently in ambiguous situations.
