From powering homes to delivering award-winning internet and helping to lead Australia’s energy transition. If you’re driven by purpose and excited to be part of something bigger, we’d love to have you on the journey.

About The Role

At Origin Zero, we’re leading the charge in renewable energy solutions for Commercial and Industrial (C&I) projects across Australia.

This is a permanent opportunity where you’ll support contract and project delivery, working closely with suppliers, customers, and internal teams to ensure high-quality outcomes and customer satisfaction. Key responsibilities include:

• Support Project Managers with planning, scheduling, and tracking renewable energy projects across multiple sites.
• Maintain and update project documents like scopes of work, schedules, and budgets.

• Help monitor project progress and escalate issues when needed.
• Facilitate communication between sales, engineering, procurement, and construction teams.
• Assist with permit submissions, compliance documentation, and contract deliverables.
• Help draft and manage contracts, ensuring smooth delivery and close-out.
