Director – Infrastructure/Renewables Investor & Developer

My client is Australia’s leading originator, investor and developer of greenfield infrastructure and energy transition projects. Over the past ~20 years, they have built an unparalleled track record of development and investment in a broad range of infrastructure and energy transition projects with now over $60 billion worth of projects and assets delivered. Boasting a unique integrated platform and specialist expertise in the sector, my client can consistently deliver the best solutions for sustainable, innovative outcomes. With significant PPP pipeline and their continued commitment to investing in Australia’s energy transition, there is now a need to hire two Directors into their team based in Sydney.

This Director role will lead the finance workstream for my client’s broader greenfield infrastructure and renewable activities, with direct involvement in sourcing, developing, closing and investing new investments. The role’s key responsibilities will include:

• Screening and sourcing new investment opportunities and facilitating consortium partner selection
• Arranging debt, financial structuring and securing binding finance commitments
• Leading execution of equity investments; including oversight of due diligence, risk allocation and participation in commercial interactions with relevant parties
• Managing relationships with financiers, consortium partners and other key stakeholders
• Leading and guiding the broader investment and project teams

The successful candidate will likely have 10+ years’ of relevant experience from an infrastructure sponsor, project finance bank, infrastructure fund or financial advisory with infrastructure and/or renewables exposure. Previous experience leading PPP / Energy / Project finance deals and debt / equity raising experience are both considered highly desirable. Whilst this is a leadership role requiring someone with proven commercial acumen, the ability to lead negotiations and management relationships, the successful candidate will still have strong technical underpinnings and the ability to dial into the detail of a transaction if required.

You must have full working rights for Australia to be considered for this role.
