Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.

We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.

As AI drives unprecedented demand for power and grid infrastructure, speed to new capacity is critical. This role leads utility-scale solar and BESS projects across Australia from early-stage opportunity through Ready-to-Build and energisation.

• Identify and mitigate technical and development risks across generation and storage assets
• Ensure projects are deliverable, scalable and aligned with construction and commissioning requirements

Requirements

• Experience developing utility-scale solar, BESS or large-scale renewable energy infrastructure projects
• Strong technical understanding of solar PV and battery storage systems
• Strong understanding of Australian planning frameworks and grid connection processes, including AEMO registration, DNSP negotiations and relevant state-level approvals
• Experience taking projects from early-stage development through design, permitting and delivery readiness
• Highly analytical, self-directed and comfortable with significant ownership

Benefits

• Competitive salary and eligibility for equity
• Biannual bonus scheme
