This is a senior operational leadership role within a fast-scaling energy transition infrastructure platform that has moved beyond early-stage growth and is now focused on execution excellence, profitability, and scale
.

The business has strong commercial momentum and front-end development capability. What it now needs is a senior operator to own everything from feasibility through construction, commissioning, and ongoing service
, while bringing greater commercial discipline, leadership depth, and operational structure.

This is not a site-level execution role. It is a P&L-owning, board-facing leadership position with real authority to shape teams, processes, and delivery strategy.

The SVP of Operations will have end-to-end responsibility for operational delivery once projects are deemed feasible, including:

• Pre-construction and construction delivery
• In-house electrical and self-perform capabilities
• Project and construction management teams
• Subcontractor strategy and supplier relationships
• Post-installation service and long‑term asset performance

You will act as the integrator between development, sales, engineering, construction, and service, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and profitably at scale.

• Improve margin discipline across self-perform and subcontracted work
• Partner closely with Sales and Project Development to ensure commercially viable execution

• Build and scale teams, systems, and processes to support continued growth
• Professionalise operational structure while maintaining speed and accountability
• Introduce best practices from high‑performing construction or infrastructure environments

• Bring gravitas, clarity, and calm leadership to a high-pressure, fast-moving business
• Lead with empathy and transparency; low ego, high standards
• Promote a culture of urgency, ownership, and reliability

• Act as a senior voice in executive discussions and board-level communication
• Translate operational reality into clear, commercial insight for leadership and investors

• 10+ years senior operational leadership experience within construction, infrastructure, power, or related contracting-led environments
• Proven experience owning and scaling a profitable operations function
• Strong commercial acumen with hands‑on P&L responsibility
• Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams through growth and change

• Exposure to greenfield site development and complex infrastructure projects
• Experience balancing self-perform delivery with subcontractor models

• High integrity, no ego, calm under pressure
• Decisive, commercially sharp, and execution-focused
• Comfortable applying pressure constructively to drive accountability
• Values teamwork, transparency, and long‑term outcomes over short‑term wins

• Rare chance to shape the operational backbone of a leading energy transition infrastructure platform
