  • Support hold point testing, model validation and compliance activities for renewable energy projects.
  • Undertake technical due diligence and performance assessments of inverter, PPC and other generation technologies.
  • Contribute to grid connection solutions for emerging technologies including grid-forming BESS, offshore wind and hydrogen projects.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and work collaboratively across diverse project teams.
  • Experience supporting GPS negotiations, registration activities or hold point testing will be highly regarded.
  • Applicants must have the legal right to work in Australia on a full-time, ongoing basis.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
