• Support acquisition and divestiture processes, including valuation, due diligence, and data room management
• Prepare investment committee papers, pitch books, and materials for external stakeholders and investors
• Provide modelling outputs and scenario analysis to support PPA negotiations, RFP responses, and EPC procurement decisions
• Coordinate transaction workstreams across internal teams, lenders, and external advisors
• Contribute to strategic projects led by the finance function, including capital structure analysis and investor presentations

What You Will Bring

• 3 to 6 years of experience in investment banking, corporate finance, project finance, or infrastructure advisory
• Strong financial modelling capability across M&A valuation and project finance structures
• Experience in energy, infrastructure, or utilities is preferred
• Degree in Applied Finance, Economics, Commerce, Engineering, or a related discipline
• High attention to detail with the ability to work accurately under transaction timelines
• Clear and confident communicator, comfortable presenting complex analysis to senior stakeholders
• Proactive and hands-on, someone who takes ownership of their workstreams

Why This Role

This business has the deal flow, internal capability, and capital backing to give you genuine transaction experience from day one. You will work directly with senior leadership on live deals across Australia's energy transition, with real scope to grow as the platform scales.
