The Opportunity
EnergyCo NSW is currently seeking to appoint 3 x Project Directors to deliver on priority Government projects. These roles are responsible for supporting the Executive Director, Projects in leading and directing the successful coordination and delivery of mega infrastructure projects consisting of:

Collectively, EnergyCo projects will deliver the NSW Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap that is expected to attract up to $32 billion in private investment for regional energy infrastructure by 2030 and achieve a capacity target of at least 12 gigawatts of renewable energy generation, and two gigawatts of long-duration storage.

This is a rare opportunity to make your mark on Australia’s renewable and energy industry by leading societal shaping projects throughout this decade, whilst also making a substantial contribution to achieving NSW’s Net Zero targets.

About EnergyCo
NSW is transitioning to a cleaner future. Our ageing coal-fired power stations are reaching the end of their life. Some are closing faster than expected, with most due to shut in the next 10 years. At the same time, our demand for electricity is increasing as our population grows and we electrify our vehicles, homes, businesses and industry.

The NSW Government has a plan to ensure this demand is supplied by renewable energy and to provide cleaner, more affordable and reliable electricity to consumers. EnergyCo is leading the implementation of this plan, which involves:

• Generating electricity (wind and solar) in Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) across NSW
• Improving the reliability of the grid with new storage capacity (batteries and pumped hydro)
• Building new transmission infrastructure such as the Hunter Transmission Project (HTP) to deliver clean energy to consumers.
