Head of Technology

Job Description

Role Overview

This leadership role is responsible for guiding the end-to-end technology function across both operational and industrial systems. Day-to-day, you’ll oversee a multidisciplinary team covering IT support, cybersecurity, SCADA / OT systems, and infrastructure. You’ll also be the key contact for high-impact vendors and ensure seamless collaboration across internal stakeholders and external delivery partners.

You’ll play a strategic role in aligning cloud-first infrastructure, embedding SOCI-aligned governance, and standardising systems across a complex portfolio of energy assets. This includes leading OT and SCADA architecture, stabilising cyber controls, and optimising platforms like Procore, SAP, and Power Factors. With two critical hires to make in the first 6 months, you’ll shape the team structure to meet both current and future demands.

Beyond BAU operations, the focus is on transformation. You’ll drive adoption of AI and automation to improve efficiency in asset construction and lifecycle management, integrate new platforms as part of growth and M&A, and rationalise legacy systems. There’s a clear mandate for uplift and innovation-this is a rare opportunity to help build a mature, scalable technology environment that enables commercial and operational objectives.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the internal technology team across desktop, networks, SCADA, and OT
• Drive execution of a $4M+ tech strategy spanning security, infrastructure, and operations
• Align and govern SCADA / OT environments in compliance with SOCI and cybersecurity standards
• Build and embed AI-driven solutions to streamline asset development and project delivery
• Manage key technology vendors
• Standardise infrastructure templates for repeatable deployment across new and acquired assets
• Support technology enablement of retail expansion and digital platform integration
• Contribute to leadership forums and strategic planning to influence broader business direction
• Oversee application governance across SAP, Procore, Power Factors, and other enterprise tools

Candidate Profile

You are a commercially aware, technically grounded leader with strong experience managing both IT and OT environments. You understand the nuance of operating within critical infrastructure or industrial settings, and are comfortable navigating complex vendor landscapes and project-based delivery models. Experience aligning cyber and SCADA frameworks, particularly under SOCI-style regulation, will be highly regarded.

Your leadership style is steady, collaborative, and grounded in integrity. You’ve led multidisciplinary teams before, assessed capability gaps, and optimised structures to meet evolving business needs. You enjoy mentoring others, bringing clarity to complex problems, and influencing decisions through trust and insight, not just title. Your ability to simplify technical conversations for non-technical audiences is one of your key strengths.

Ideally, you bring exposure to the energy or renewables sector, along with a genuine interest in innovation, sustainability, and scalable systems design. You thrive in environments that are professionalising where structure is growing but agility still matters. With a natural curiosity, clear communication style, and resilience under pressure, you’ll play a central role in shaping a tech function fit for the future.

Company, Culture & Benefits

This is a business with a national footprint and strong backing from global renewable leaders. The company values sustainability, transparency, and innovation, and maintains a genuinely collaborative working culture. You’ll be surrounded by passionate, high-calibre professionals who care deeply about their impact, both environmentally and commercially.
