Energy Markets Manager

Job Description

Energy Markets & Optimisation Manager
Sydney

Overview

Enemix is partnering with a dedicated Australian renewable energy platform to appoint an Energy Markets & Optimisation Manager. Our client develops, owns and operates utility-scale battery storage, solar and hybrid projects across the NEM.

This is a chance to help build something from the ground up. With the first projects reaching operations in 2027, you will play a key role in setting up the market and operating capability of the business. Working closely with the Head of Energy Markets & Operations, you will drive day-to-day portfolio performance across bidding, dispatch and BESS optimisation, and support the technical asset management of the operating fleet.

The business is deliberately lean, so you will have real exposure to senior leadership. You will also work closely with Development, Finance and Legal. It suits a technically strong, commercially minded professional with 5 to 8 years of experience who wants broad exposure and room to grow as the platform scales.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day NEM bidding, dispatch and BESS optimisation to maximise arbitrage, firming and ancillary services revenue
• Monitor and report on the operational and commercial performance of a growing solar, BESS and hybrid portfolio across Australia and New Zealand, and contribute to reporting for the Executive team
• Work with O&M contractors and service providers to track availability, performance guarantees and HSE standards, and support maintenance planning, outages, warranty claims and fault resolution
• Develop and maintain the data and analytics tools that guide trading and operating decisions, and use them to spot underperformance, revenue leakage and ways to optimise
• Help design lean, scalable operating processes ahead of first operations, and provide market and operational input into financing, due diligence and new acquisitions

Key Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Australian energy markets, trading or asset management, with a solid working knowledge of NEM dispatch, settlement and FCAS (exposure to the NZ market is a plus)
• Hands-on experience with BESS and/or hybrid assets in a merchant market, including bidding and revenue optimisation
• Exposure to O&M or technical asset management on renewable or storage projects, including availability, performance guarantees and warranty regimes
• Strong data analytics skills: you are comfortable building models and tools yourself, not just reviewing them
• A blend of technical understanding and commercial acumen, with strong stakeholder management skills
• Thrives in a lean, fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment, and is keen to grow with the business
