About the Opportunity
Join a collaborative team where laughter and fun is part of the daily rhythm, and a shared desire to support the renewable energy transition. Beyond the banter, this is serious, purpose-driven work and EnergyCo’s Generation and Access team in the Commercial, Regulatory and Markets Division is currently seeking to appoint a Strategic Delivery Manager to lead the coordinated delivery of Renewable Energy Zone Access Schemes.
You’ll lead. Working closely with key partners - from the ASL and OECC to industry stakeholders - you’ll provide expert advice, coordinate access scheme activities, and make sure processes and systems are in place to run these schemes effectively. If you’re a natural collaborator who loves a good laugh but is deeply committed to building a cleaner energy future, this is the role for you!
The Strategic Delivery Manager provides leadership and exercises significant innovation, initiative and judgement. They are accountable for a number of project workstreams including supporting the development, implementation, and management of access schemes within Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) to support wind, solar, and battery projects critical to mitigating climate change. The role oversees budget and resource management, exceeding $15m. Working collaboratively with other Managers in the organisation to ensure efficient and effective delivery of workstreams through implementation of best-practice policy development and project management is imperative.
The Generator Access team is a great group of people who love to solve all the complex issues that come with doing something novel (delivering the first Australian REZ!). We feel proud of the work we do and its impact on the State’s Net Zero Targets. Trying to have some fun and having a laugh also helps make this team pretty special.
About You
If you are a natural leader, someone who can form and build upon strong stakeholder relationships both internally and externally, someone who can consult with various levels of the organisation including providing strategic advice to senior management, and are confident with providing and preparing complex documentation and correspondence on a range of sensitive and contentious issues we would encourage you to read further and apply for this role! No two days are the same here.
As the successful applicant, you will lead and oversee all aspects of program and policy development and implementation across a complex portfolio of work, including preparation of policy papers and project plans; establishment of appropriate governance; and management of resources, budget and reporting to ensure project outcomes are delivered on time and on budget.
Essential Requirements
