About the Company

Our client is a global investor in the renewables and infrastructure space, with an expanding footprint in Australia. With existing assets already in operation, they are now focused on building out their local technology capability to support growth across the region. This is a rare opportunity to join a well-capitalised, forward-thinking organisation at the ground level and help shape the future of its Australian operations.

About the Role

This is the business’s first dedicated technology hire in Australia — a hands-on, strategic position that blends elements of Technology Manager, Service Delivery Manager, and Technology Business Partner. You’ll be the senior face of IT locally, reporting to a senior leader in the UK and working closely with the COO based in Melbourne. While there is no internal IT team on the ground, you’ll work closely with an established Managed Service Provider (MSP), oversee vendor relationships, and provide expert support across all aspects of technology operations.

Experience & Qualifications

• Proven experience in a similar role such as Technology Manager, IT Manager, or Service Delivery Manager.
• Comfortable working in lean, fast-paced environments where you take ownership and wear multiple hats.
• Exposure to sectors such as renewable energy, private equity, industrial operations, or infrastructure highly regarded.
• Experience working with SCADA, OT systems, or remote site support desirable.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and vendor management skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement the Australian technology roadmap in line with global objectives.
• Provide responsive, business-facing IT support to staff across Melbourne, Sydney, and remote sites.
• Oversee the relationship and performance of third-party providers, including the MSP and external partners for SCADA and OT systems.
• Deliver hands-on support across infrastructure, service delivery, cybersecurity, and emerging application needs.
• Act as a technology business partner, working closely with stakeholders to understand their needs and deliver fit-for-purpose solutions.
• Maintain visibility across internal and external delivery to ensure accountability and performance.
• Travel across Australian sites and assets will be required, especially during the onboarding phase.

Benefits

• Key leadership role with autonomy and the chance to shape the local tech function.
• Work with a global organisation investing in sustainable, long-term infrastructure.
• Flexible work arrangements and regular engagement with senior leadership.
• Opportunity to gain broad exposure across infrastructure, cybersecurity, vendor management, and future application strategy.
• Travel opportunities across Australia with the ability to see your impact on real-world assets.
