Job description

Business Development Manager | Renewable Energy

Sydney | Wind, Solar & BESS | Engineering & Technical Consulting

You've built your career in renewable energy. What if your next move was about building the business, rather than delivering the projects?

We're working with an established international engineering and technical consultancy with an impressive track record across renewable energy and power infrastructure.

They have the technical expertise, the delivery capability and the industry credentials. What they're looking for now is someone who can help turn that capability into more projects, stronger customer relationships and new business opportunities.

We're not necessarily looking for a traditional Business Development Manager here.

Some of the best people we've seen move into commercially focused roles have come from engineering, project development, technical consulting and project delivery backgrounds.

People who understand the industry, have built strong networks and can identify opportunities because they've spent years working on the projects themselves.

People who are commercially minded, enjoy developing relationships and can comfortably move between a business conversation and a technical one.

The opportunity

You'll be responsible for growing the consultancy's renewable energy business, with a particular focus on wind.

Working alongside an established team of technical specialists, you'll build on existing customer relationships while taking the lead on developing new business across the Australian market.

You'll be involved in:

• Building and strengthening relationships with developers, asset owners, investors and other industry stakeholders.
• Identifying new projects, customers and commercial opportunities across the renewable energy sector.
• Taking ownership of business development activity, from initial conversations through to securing new work.
• Developing a strong pipeline of consulting, engineering and advisory opportunities.
• Understanding customer challenges and working with internal technical teams to develop the right solutions.
• Representing the business in commercial and technical discussions, building credibility and long-term relationships.
• Helping shape the broader growth strategy and identifying opportunities to expand into new customers and markets.

Who we're looking for

• You might already be in a commercially focused role, or you might be someone who's ready to make that transition.
• Perhaps you're a Development Manager who enjoys negotiating, building relationships and getting projects off the ground.
• Maybe you're an Engineer or Technical Manager who's naturally gravitated towards customers, proposals and commercial discussions.
• Or you could be a Project Manager or Delivery Lead who's developed strong industry connections and sees opportunities others might miss.

The common thread is a combination of commercial instinct, technical understanding and strong interpersonal skills.

We're particularly interested in people who bring:

• Experience within the Australian renewable energy or power infrastructure sector.
• An established industry network and the ability to develop relationships with decision-makers.
• A technical foundation in engineering, development, delivery or a closely related discipline.
• Commercial awareness and the ability to identify, develop and convert opportunities.
• Strong communication skills and confidence engaging with both technical specialists and senior commercial stakeholders.
• A proactive approach to generating new business, rather than simply managing existing accounts.
• Wind sector experience would be particularly valuable, although backgrounds in solar, BESS or broader energy infrastructure are equally worth discussing.

You don't need to be the technical expert in every room, but you do need enough industry knowledge and understanding to have meaningful conversations with customers.

Why consider it?

• This is an opportunity to use the experience, relationships and industry knowledge you've developed throughout your career in a different way.
• You'll be joining an established business with genuine technical depth, a strong delivery track record and the capability to take on complex assignments.
• You're not being asked to sell something the business can't deliver.
• Instead, you'll be helping connect that expertise with the customers and projects that need it.
• For someone coming from engineering, development or delivery, it could be a natural next step. A chance to move into a more commercial position without losing the value of your technical background.

You'll have the opportunity to influence business growth, develop new customer relationships and play a meaningful part in shaping the direction of an established consultancy.

If you're well connected in renewable energy, commercially minded and enjoy the people side of the industry as much as the technical side, we'd be interested in speaking with you.
