Technical Project Development Lead
We're hiring: Technical Project Development Lead | Brisbane / SE Queensland | Full-time | Hybrid
Pelleton Renewables turns high-moisture biowaste into renewable energy products. Our technology has been proven at laboratory and demonstration scale, and we are now building our first commercial reference projects in Australia.
We're looking for an engineer who wants to own projects from start to finish, without handing customers between separate sales, engineering and delivery teams.
This is a project development role, not a sales role. You will work with industrial customers to turn technically complex opportunities into well-defined, viable projects.
What you'll do:
? Techno-economic project development (40%): assess customer sites, waste streams and energy needs; lead feasibility studies, business cases and CAPEX/OPEX models
? Engineering collaboration & governance (25%): turn customer constraints into clear technical scopes; work with our Process and Design Engineering team and Design Authority
? EPC & execution interface (20%): be the customer's main contact during execution and manage the interface with our EPC partners through to commissioning
? Team, contractor & supplier coordination (10%): build and manage the supplier ecosystem behind our technical solution
? Market development (5%): grow our position in meat processing, water and waste utilities, and agriculture
What you bring:
✅ Engineering degree (Chemical, Mechanical, Environmental or Civil preferred)
✅ 8–15 years in project development, project engineering, solutions engineering, technical sales or industrial project delivery
✅ Confidence with process flows, mass and energy balances and project economics
✅ Background in bioenergy, wastewater, meat/food processing, resource recovery, process equipment or EPC/EPCM
You'll report to the CEO and join a small, international team, with a competitive package plus our Employee Participation Plan (EPP).
? Important: Send your CV and cover letter to careers@pelletonrenewables.com with the subject: Application for Technical Project Development Lead.
