Solar Development Manager

Te Tākinatanga | Our Story
We're a power and broadband company, but we're so much more than that.
We are transforming the ways we mahi, and how Aotearoa is powered, leading the charge on renewable energy and digitising customer journeys in ways not yet seen here.
Speaking of leading the charge on renewable energy, we have partnered with leading global solar developer Lightsource bp to develop a pipeline of grid scale solar farms across New Zealand.
Most recently we announced being chosen to develop phase one of a renewable energy precinct at Christchurch Airport, known as Kowhai Park.
Kōwhai Park will host a solar farm that will span around 300-hectares just behind Christchurch Airport's runways - it's big, so big in fact it will be among the largest in the country.
The project will generate 290GWh of electricity per year, to put that into context it's enough to meet the annual demand of approximately 36,000 homes and will have the same carbon benefit as planting around 1.25 million native trees and shrubs.
The Contact and Lightsource bp joint venture will develop, build, own and operate the solar farm, with Contact buying most of the output.
Job Description:
Kōrero mō te tūranga | About the role
Growing renewable development to meet new demand is a key pillar of our Contact26 strategy.
As a Development Manager - Solar, it will be up to you to drive Contact's solar strategy, taking options from pre-feasibility through to financial close.
You will oversee the integration of solar generation into Contact's generation portfolio and develop business cases for solar projects. This may also include co-location of battery storage.One of your key tasks will involve developing Kowhai Park solar farm in partnership with Lightsource bp. In addition to this, we will be counting on you to identifying opportunities for new solar generation projects.
This role reports into our Head of Wind and Solar and sits within the Development team. As a manager, you will have one direct report, a Development Specialist - Solar. You will lead and motivate them, helping them to grow and reach their full potential.
Location wise, we are ideally seeking someone who is Wellington based but we are open to considering other locations.
Qualifications:
Tā mātou e kimi nei? - What are we looking for?
This role is a mix of commercial and people skills, the dream would be to find somebody who has prior experience in generation development, some relevant energy sector commercial exposure and has led and managed a team.
In this role you'll be collaborating with a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders across all levels of seniority.
You'll have experience in project management and managing complex projects and will be familiar with what it's like to work in a fast paced, dynamic environment.
You'll need to be comfortable working 'in the grey' and roll with the punches when things don't go as planned or change tact.
Strong commercial acumen is a must, you'll need to have transactional experience including joint ventures, and asset and business sales and purchases.
All this experience will set you up for success and enable you to influence others, negotiate and make sound decisions.
Ideally, you'll have a relevant tertiary qualification e.g., commerce, mathematics, statistics, engineering science or operations research supported by a genuine interest in the energy industry.
If this position sounds like a bit of you, we'd love to hear from you.
It's a unique leadership role where you have the ability to influence our solar portfolio and play a key role in our journey to lead the decarbonisation of Aotearoa.
Help us build a brighter futureThere are a bunch of perks to being a permanent Contact kaimahi (employee).
Along with great leadership, teammates, development, and growth and progression opportunities, you'll enjoy free health insurance cover, better-than-your-average leave, access to Contact Shares, a 'Good to be Home' annual payment toward your home set up & wellbeing, a trail-blazing parental leave policy [link removed], discounts on Contact Energy products, and more.
