Our mission : serving energy transition and low carbon world by empowering the deployment and integration of solar and storage solutions. We provide solar PV & hybrid plants, energy storage, innovation and solar PV B2B customers.

Operating in 15 countries, with more than 1,500 experts dedicated to solar PV and high voltage, Equans Solar & Storage has installed over 6GW solar energy capacity worldwide, 550 MWh BESS and is operating and maintaining approximately 2GW of solar PV plants.

Our Australian team consists of approximately 50 highly skilled engineers, and it is expanding rapidly due to the growth of large‑scale hybrid projects. Program Overview

Equans Solar & Storage will imminently launch its Lightspeed Solar Portfolio (LSP) program, a utility‑scale testbed environment to trial and deploy innovation projects that help to lower the cost of constructing and operating large‑scale solar and storage projects.

LSP will be part of ARENA’s Advancing Renewables Program, contributing to ARENA’s goals to reduce LCOE of renewables technologies in Australia.

The team you’ll be joining Our Australian team consists of approximately 50 highly skilled engineers, and it is expanding rapidly due to the growth of large‑scale hybrid projects.

You will be a part of our growing Innovations team tasked with the implementation of our LSP program, specifically in the Digital and Construction workstreams. Want to learn more about our projects?

You’ll report to the Innovation leader, our key person in Australia managing the LSP program, and will be working closely with our Civil team based in Sydney. Your rôle and responsibilities:

Primary role: Develop, refine and validate data analytics and machine learning models to identify ground conditions associated with piling refusal on Equans current and future solar and storage projects.

Consolidate and manage large datasets from intrusive investigations (e.g. boreholes, test pits), non‑intrusive investigations (e.g. geophysical surveys), and piling installation records. Build predictive models and data visualization tools to improve ground risk assessment,

project budgeting and construction planning. Continue and enhance an existing preliminary model previously developed by Equans in France, adapting it to Australian ground conditions and project requirements.

Collaborate with engineering, construction and innovation teams to translate technical findings into practical recommendations for project development and delivery. Prepare technical reports, presentations and documentation to communicate

methodologies, assumptions and key findings to internal stakeholders. Liaise with consultants, performing technical analysis of consultants proposals, attend site visits/occasional travels to site
