ACCIONA is a global company, leading in the development of regenerative infrastructure that creates a positive impact on society. Our workforce consists of more than 41,500 professionals, present in more than 40 countries across the five continents, all contributing in our mission to design a better planet. Are you a passionate individual who wants to make a difference, promote sustainable development, and find solutions to the biggest global challenges, including climate change, overpopulation, and water scarcity? Come and join us in building the infrastructure our planet needs to achieve a sustainable future.

Currently, this position is located in our project office in Sydney CBD, with occasional site visits. Once the project is fully operational, it will transition to a 14/7 roster-based arrangement out of the Central West Orana Region.

An 80-year group, COBRA promotes its own efficient business model, the result of the combination of decentralization, geographical diversification and technical specialization of more than 20,000 professionals in more than 43 countries. In this way, it offers a wide range of services throughout the value chain of projects, adapted to each sector and to the scope of the contract required by our clients, both public and private.

Cobra is divided into four main sectors of activity, Networks, Specialised installations, integrated projects and concession assets.

ACEREZ, a partnership of ACCIONA, COBRA and Endeavour Energy, has been appointed network operator by EnergyCo to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) transmission network. The ACCIONA COBRA Joint Venture (ACJV), the design and construct (D&C) consortium, will design and build the Central-West Orana REZ transmission project.

The new transmission network infrastructure will deliver at least 4.5 gigawatts of new network capacity from 2028 to connect 7.7 gigawatts of wind and solar projects, which is enough to power more than 2 million homes each year.

With a commitment to driving positive change, contributing to the evolution of Australia's green energy sector, this is your chance to be part of something groundbreaking!

Our Central-West Orana project is currently seeking a dedicated Environmental Advisor to share their expertise within our growing Environmental & Sustainability team. In this role, you will facilitate construction while promoting environmental protection and enhancement, ensuring the project's environmental and statutory requirements, targets, and objectives are met.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee environmental contractors and suppliers, ensuring effective management of waste, equipment, and monitoring services.
  
• Assist in responding to environmental compliance breaches, contributing to reports and investigations in a timely manner.
  
• Support training initiatives and foster environmental innovations, promoting best practices across the project.
