This is a hands-on, planning and integration role focused on
driving delivery excellence across solar, BESS and high voltage (HV) grid
connection infrastructure. You will be responsible for developing and managing
integrated schedules, aligning system interfaces, and enabling safe, on-time
and compliant project delivery.

delivery plan
- Monitoring
performance through earned value, SPI and forecasting metrics
- Supporting
delay analysis, EOT claims and commercial decision-making
- Leading
interface management, resolving dependencies and mitigating delivery risks
- Providing
executive-level reporting, dashboards and planning insights
- Facilitating
planning workshops and influencing stakeholders across all levels of the
business

With significant experience in project planning and controls
within large-scale energy or infrastructure projects, you are a confident and
