• Oversee contractor and supplier performance, ensuring high-quality installation standards, cost efficiency, and compliance with safety requirements.

• Conduct site visits to monitor project progress, stakeholder relationships, safety performance, and installation quality.

• Drive project excellence through effective project closeout, continuous improvement initiatives, lessons learned, and mentoring junior project managers.

Who We're Looking For

• Seasoned experience in project management, engineering, or a related field, with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders and contractors.

• Strong customer focus, stakeholder management skills, and excellent attention to detail, communication, and reporting capabilities.

• Demonstrated commitment to health, safety, and compliance, with knowledge of PV industry regulations and standards.

• Ability to work independently in remote or field-based environments and deliver successful project outcomes.

• Relevant tertiary qualifications in engineering or a related discipline are advantageous.

• Preferred experience includes commercial solar projects, CEC accreditation, Working at Heights certification, and familiarity with NetSuite, Procore, CAD, SMA, and SolarEdge products.

What’s in it for you?

• Flexible ways of working and wellbeing support, with access to employee benefits, health and wellbeing initiatives, and programs designed to help you thrive both at work and at home.
