Job Search

We are seeking a Generation Project Development Engineer to support the development and delivery of large-scale power generation projects from early feasibility through to construction readiness. The successful candidate will contribute technical expertise across project definition, option appraisal, design development, consenting, procurement and delivery planning, helping to ensure that projects are safe, technically robust, commercially viable and aligned with relevant regulatory requirements.

Responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing technical scopes, specifications and design deliverables; coordinating engineering inputs across civil, mechanical, electrical, control and environmental disciplines; assessing grid connection, site infrastructure and constructability requirements; and supporting technology selection and project risk management. You will work closely with internal stakeholders, consultants, contractors, network operators and statutory authorities, providing clear technical advice and ensuring that project assumptions, interfaces, dependencies and decisions are properly documented. The role will also involve contributing to feasibility studies, cost and schedule estimates, business cases, tender evaluations, design reviews and technical due diligence, as well as supporting projects through planning, consenting and investment approval stages.

Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in an engineering discipline relevant to power generation or major infrastructure, with demonstrable experience in project development, engineering consultancy, utilities, energy or a related sector. Experience of generation technologies, grid connections, electrical systems, balance-of-plant design, project controls or regulatory approvals would be advantageous. You will be expected to demonstrate sound engineering judgement, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage competing priorities in a complex, multidisciplinary environment. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, together with experience of engaging effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders. Professional registration, or a clear commitment towards achieving it, is desirable. The position may be appointed at Engineer, Senior, Staff or Principal level, depending on experience and technical leadership capability.

We are seeking a Generation Development Project Manager at Level I, II or III to lead the development and delivery of generation projects from early concept through to construction readiness. The successful candidate will manage a portfolio of projects of varying scale and complexity, supporting the expansion, improvement and integration of energy generation assets. The level of appointment will reflect the candidate’s experience, technical knowledge and ability to work independently.

Responsibilities will include developing project scopes, schedules, budgets and delivery strategies; coordinating feasibility studies, site assessments, engineering activities, permitting and environmental reviews; and managing consultants, contractors and internal stakeholders. You will monitor project performance, identify and mitigate risks, maintain accurate records and provide clear progress reports to senior leaders. The role will also involve supporting procurement and contracting activities, reviewing technical and commercial proposals, preparing business cases, and ensuring that projects meet applicable safety, quality, regulatory and environmental requirements.

Applicants should have experience managing complex infrastructure, energy, construction or engineering projects, ideally within the generation, utilities or renewable energy sectors. A degree or equivalent qualification in engineering, project management, construction, energy or a related discipline is desirable, together with relevant professional certification or demonstrable project delivery experience. You will need strong commercial awareness, financial and schedule management skills, and the ability to interpret technical information and make sound, evidence-based decisions. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to build effective relationships across multidisciplinary teams. The successful candidate will be organised, adaptable and committed to delivering safe, sustainable and cost-effective outcomes.
