Position: Senior Project Development Manager

Step into a pivotal leadership role at the forefront of the renewable energy sector. This is an opportunity to drive the development of large-scale clean energy projects that span power generation, green fuels, and industrial heat — all while shaping commercial strategy and influencing major investment decisions.

With full visibility across the project lifecycle and access to high-level decision-makers, you’ll lead a talented team of analysts and collaborate closely with specialists in engineering, finance, legal, and supply chain.

As the Senior Project Development Manager, you will:

  • Set and execute strategic growth plans to expand market presence and accelerate the development pipeline.
  • Lead the full development cycle for major energy projects — from early-stage site identification and approvals to commercial structuring and investment readiness.
  • Guide high-precision production modeling in collaboration with technical experts to optimise feasibility and energy performance.
  • Take ownership of financial modeling and investment analysis to evaluate project returns, funding pathways, and commercial outcomes.
  • Represent the organisation in high-stakes conversations with investors, government bodies, industry stakeholders, and strategic partners.
  • Shape risk management strategies that ensure each project is robust, competitive, and future-proofed.
  • Stay ahead of market and regulatory trends, leveraging insights to inform commercial positioning and strategic decisions.
What you’ll bring to the role:
  • Proven experience delivering large-scale infrastructure or renewable energy projects with commercial responsibility.
  • Expertise in both production and financial modeling, and the ability to translate technical inputs into sound business cases.
  • A strong industry network and the confidence to lead external engagements with credibility and clarity.
  • Exceptional communication and presentation skills — comfortable crafting investment materials and pitching to stakeholders.
  • Natural leadership and cross-functional collaboration ability — capable of driving complex projects forward with multiple moving parts.
  • Commercial savvy with a strategic mindset — someone who sees the bigger picture while navigating details and risk.
  • A hands-on, entrepreneurial spirit — eager to take ownership and drive real outcomes in a fast-paced environment.
  • High integrity, resilience, and a collaborative, solutions-focused approach.
Why This Role?
This is more than a development role — it’s a chance to be at the intersection of innovation, investment, and impact. You’ll join a team of driven professionals with a shared vision and the resources to turn big ideas into real-world energy solutions.
