The result is lower-cost, zero-carbon industrial energy delivered safely, reliably, and at 98% efficiency. \nRondo is commercially deployed and rapidly scaling, today. Backed by world-class industrial leaders and investors, including Breakthrough Energy, Energy Impact Partners, Rio Tinto, Aramco, SABIC, SCG, TITAN, Microsoft, H&M, and John Doerr, Rondo is building the next generation of industrial energy infrastructure at global scale. \nWe are looking for an experienced Project Developer to lead the development of large-scale industrial energy projects across Australia. Working within our Australian Commercial team, you will take qualified opportunities through development to final investment decision (FID) and structured handover to Delivery. The role is particularly important to our Heat-as-a-Service (HaaS) model, where Rondo develops energy infrastructure to provide reliable, cost-competitive industrial heat to major customers. \nYou will own the integrated development pathway and project readiness, bringing together grid, land, approvals, engineering, commercial, schedule and cost workstreams. \nWhat You Will Do \nLead project development: Establishand drive integrated development plans, critical paths, budgets, resource requirementsand decision gates from opportunity qualification through to FID.\nDrive grid and infrastructure development: Lead grid-connection and major electrical-infrastructure development, coordinating network service providers, connection advisers, engineering consultantsand internal specialists.\nSecureland and approvals: Establishland and site-control requirements and coordinate planning, environmental, heritage, geotechnical and other statutory pathways. Scope and manage specialist external advisers.\nDevelop project scope and definition: Coordinate feasibility studies, pre-FEED, FEED, balance-of-plantand site infrastructure activities, integrating technical requirements, cost estimates and schedules as project definition matures.\nIntegrate project economics and commercial requirements: Ensure electricity procurement, network tariffs, customer requirements, contractual requirements commitments, financing requirementsand applicable incentives are reflected I the development plan and investment case.\nManage development risks and interfaces: Identify, assessand mitigate risks, dependenciesand unresolved assumptions. Coordinate interfaces among customers, utilities, consultants, contractors, vendors and internal teams, escalating decisions needed to protect schedule, budgetand project viability.\nReport progress and support decisions: Provide clear updates on milestones, development expenditure, risksand decisions required. Prepare recommendations supported by technical and commercial evidence.\nLead the transition to Delivery: Establishproject readiness criteria and coordinate structured handover, including scope, cost and schedule baselines, assumptions, approvals, commitmentsand external interfaces.\nBuild repeatable development capability: Improve development processes, toolsand governance so constraints are resolved early, expenditure supports the decisions that matter, and projects reach investment and delivery decisions with greater confidence.\nWhat You Will Bring \n7+ years of relevant experience in energy, infrastructureor major-projectdevelopment, including meaningful responsibility for projects prior to FID.\nA demonstrated record of progressing complex projects across multiple development workstreams and resolving the issues standing between an opportunity and an investment decision.\nExperience with large electrical connections, network businesses and/or major energy infrastructure, and practical understanding of land, planning, environmental approvalsand development pathways.\nExperience coordinating engineering studies, pre-FEED/FEED or equivalent project-definition activities, and managing multidisciplinary external consultants and advisers.\nExperience managing schedules, development budgets, cost estimatesand programmes, with proficiencyin project planning and management tools.\nStrong commercial judgement and understanding of how development decisions affect project economics, contractual positionsand investment readiness.\nStrong stakeholder-management, communication and negotiation skills across customers, utilities, government, engineeringand executive stakeholders; ability to lead multidisciplinary work without relying on formal reporting lines.\nAn analytical, proactiveand self-motivated approach; ability to learn quickly, work with incomplete information and independently drive progress as project requirements evolve.\nWillingness to travel to project sites and stakeholder meetings as required.\nRelevant qualifications in engineering, commerce, economics, planning, project managementor a relateddiscipline.
