You will be one of the primary interfaces between internal teams, partners and our external consultancies that will provide evaluation reports on prospective investment opportunities.

- managing third party providers for technical reports and due diligence
- conducting site visits pre-construction and in-construction to ensure project feasibility and quality 
- liaising with management of construction and asset managers throughout the project execution phases.

To succeed in this role, you will have significant experience of 8 + years of working on solar and wind projects from development through to construction and into operations and sell-down as well as a strong understanding of the development process including constraints analysis, grid connection process and permitting process. You will also possess  prior experience in the appraisal / operational management of solar technologies.

You will also have demonstrable understanding of investor technical due diligence requirements, a successful track record leading and managing complex projects, including working alongside JV partners in multiple countries and other stakeholders to achieve successful outcomes. Lastly, you’ll have experience with commercial and technical risk management, excellent networking and communication skills, and strong analytical, report writing and presentation skills.

We believe in providing a positive environment for all our staff that is innovative and inspiring. For our female staff, Macquarie’s senior leaders are actively involved in increasing the representation of females in management positions.  In June 2014, we launched a mentoring programme for females, with the following two objectives:

  • Address female retention rates at Senior Manager level and improve our diverse pipeline of talent;
  • Engage female Senior Managers by providing tools and support around their personal development;

The programme pairs up Senior Managers with Directors, who meet on a monthly basis, and are supported by active group sessions (bi-monthly) with an external facilitator.
