• Oversee key workstreams including grid connection, approvals, land access, and commercial readiness
• Manage grid connection processes, including liaison with Western Power and engagement with AEMO
• Engage with regulators, utilities, and government bodies to support project progression
• Maintain strong governance and reporting, including preparation of senior stakeholder and board updates
• Lead and coordinate consultants and advisors, driving outcomes through influence rather than direct authority
