As our Skills and Workforce Planning Manager, you'll shape how we attract, develop and retain the talent needed to support major renewable energy projects, business growth, and the transition to a lower-carbon future.

In this role, you'll lead a critical business priority - identifying future skills needs, strengthening workforce capability, and creating sustainable talent pipelines that support our ambitious growth plans. Your insight and expertise will help ensure we have the people, skills and capacity needed to deliver today and in the years ahead.

The Opportunity
