## Description

**Renewable Energy Infrastructure Development Lead**

**Description**

Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy – fast. We're combining first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system. We raised $210M from top-tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, Box Group and strategic angels like Nico Rosberg, the Co-Founder of Solana and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify, Uber and more.

We're creating a fully integrated energy company: from developing renewable generation and grid infrastructure to powering the next generation of AI and compute-intensive industries. But we're not stopping there. We're also building the Energy Network: a decentralised platform of smart devices to electrify our homes, shifting usage to off-peak hours and helping balance the grid. This network strengthens grid stability - a critical foundation for scaling AI data centers and other energy-intensive industries.

As AI drives unprecedented demand for power and data center capacity, the bottleneck is no longer chips – it is energy, grid infrastructure, and the ability to deliver new capacity at speed.

**Responsibilities**

-   Lead solar and BESS projects from early-stage opportunity through Ready-to-Build and energisation
-   Assess sites from technical, planning, grid, and infrastructure perspectives
-   Develop grid connection and power export strategies with AEMO, DNSPs, and network service providers
-   Support planning, permitting, and stakeholder engagement processes
-   Identify and mitigate technical and development risks across generation and storage assets
-   Ensure projects are deliverable, scalable, and aligned with construction and commissioning requirements

## Requirements

-   Experience developing utility-scale solar, BESS, or large-scale renewable energy infrastructure projects
-   Strong technical understanding of solar PV and battery storage systems, including inverter architecture, storage integration, and grid interconnection, with the ability to evaluate engineering decisions and challenge technical assumptions
-   Strong understanding of Australian planning frameworks and grid connection processes, including AEMO registration, DNSP negotiations, and relevant state-level approvals
-   Experience taking projects from early-stage development through design, permitting, and delivery readiness
-   Highly analytical, self-directed, and comfortable with significant ownership

## Benefits

-   Competitive salary
-   Biannual bonus scheme
-   Fully expensed tech to match your needs
