What You'll Bring

We are keen to engage with qualified CA/CFA's that have strong M&A experience within the energy sector. Renewables M&A is highly desirable, however energy is sufficient.

It's also not expected that the individual will have project development experience at this stage, however given the internal expertise and ability to lean on external advisers, this is a gap the business is confident that can be bridged.
