Company Description

Pushing the limits of what is possible.

We believe infrastructure creates opportunity for everyone. Whether it’s improving your commute, keeping the lights on, providing access to clean water or transforming skylines, our work helps people and communities thrive.

Leading the change toward a sustainable and equitable future.

We are seeing unprecedented investment in utility scale renewable energy projects including solar, onshore and offshore wind and off-grid hybrid systems. Increasing renewable energy penetration is also necessitating the development of new dispatchable capacity and storage including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES).

AECOM Australia & New Zealand (ANZ) has a long history of providing planning, advisory, grid connection, owner’s engineer and engineering design services for key clients on some of the largest and most complex renewable energy and storage projects.

The Renewable Energy & Storage Leader – NZ is responsible for developing and implementing our strategy to deliver growth within the renewable energy and storage sector across NZ.

Job Description

What will a day in this role look like?

• Develop multi-year NZ renewable energy & storage strategy, implementation plans and priority actions/investments in collaboration with our key stakeholders across the business.

• Support the delivery of renewable energy & storage projects during execution and implementation by taking on key roles such as Project Director, Project Manager, Lead Verifier or Technical/Discipline Lead.

• Identify and engage key clients in collaboration with our regional teams and stakeholders.

• Elevate our brand and industry presence through thought leadership and strategic external marketing initiatives.

• Drive collaboration with our global energy teams for workshare and capability development, including active participation in our Renewable Energy & Storage Technical Practice Group.

The following qualifications and experience are highly desired, but if you don’t tick all the boxes, you could still be a perfect fit for this role. Please apply, all applications will be considered.

Qualifications

What are we looking for from you?

• Proven ability to manage complex energy projects while meeting delivery requirements

• Sound commercial background, including familiarity with contractual conditions and procedures, and experience of taking commercial responsibility for major projects and businesses
