Job description

Birdwood Operations Pty Ltd – East Melbourne VIC

Project Engineer – Commercial | Renewable Energy & Battery Storage

Location: East Melbourne, with domestic travel required. International travel may be occasionally required

Birdwood is a global, engineering-led renewable energy investment manager with a ~A$5 billion portfolio across Australia, Germany and the UK. About two-thirds of the team are engineers, and the founders have 20+ years deploying battery technology.

The role

Support development, procurement, construction and asset management across Birdwood's Australian and international renewable and battery storage portfolios. A technical generalist role with real commercial weight — you'll lead, not just assist.

  • Lead procurement and contracting on deals up to $5M; support the technical side of larger deals

  • Write technical specs and negotiate contract terms and performance guarantees

  • Run technical due diligence on project acquisitions and suppliers

  • Act as technical escalation point during construction; support grid connection and commissioning

  • Help troubleshoot issues on operating solar and battery assets

What you'll bring

  • Engineering degree, 3+ years on engineering/infrastructure projects (Australian renewables preferred)

  • Understanding of utility-scale renewable development and construction, relevant Australian Standards and NSP processes

  • Contract negotiation or administration experience

  • Strong grounding in core renewable technologies

  • Excel and MS Project/Primavera skills are required; AutoCAD, PVsyst or electrical design tools (ETAP, PSCAD, PSSE, PowerFactory) are preferred skills

Why join

Real technical input into which projects get backed. No EPC or tools-down site work — you're the technical backbone behind the deals. Direct exposure to Germany, UK and Australian markets, including some of the most sought-after BESS grid connections coming online.
