About You
Are you passionate about the environment and genuinely motivated by making a difference? If so, this could be a great fit for you. You'll bring strong experience in solar PV project development, with confidence working across the full lifecycle from early feasibility and concept design through to delivery and ongoing support.
- Producing solar PV designs
- Carrying out technical and financial assessments
- Shaping clear, evidence-based business cases
You understand the bigger picture including planning constraints, grid connections, land availability, and commercial considerations and can translate this into clear insights, helping others understand risks and opportunities. You’re organised, proactive, and able to keep multiple projects moving at pace. You’ll also enjoy working with a wide range of stakeholders, including:
- Consultants and contractors
- Network operators
- Local authorities
- Internal teams
You’ll also have an appreciation of safe and reliable operation, and be able to support ongoing solar PV performance – reviewing data, coordinating inspections, and working with O&M providers to resolve issues and optimise output. Most importantly, you’ll be motivated by contributing to our net-zero ambition and bring a practical, collaborative approach to delivering renewable energy across the Mining Remediation Authority. We don’t expect you to tick every box. If your experience looks a little different but you know you can add value, we’d love to hear from you.

- Coordinating solar PV operation and maintenance (O&M) activities with providers and internal teams
