Renewable Energy Jobs in Australia 

We recruit across the full spectrum of the clean energy sector. Technical roles include engineers, project managers, surveyors, site technicians, and maintenance coordinators working on wind, solar, and battery storage projects. We also place candidates in administrative and support roles such as program officers, energy sales advisors, data analysts, and customer service specialists. Policy and sustainability officers are increasingly in demand as government and infrastructure clients scale up their clean energy commitments.

Many of the roles we advertise sit directly within wind, solar, or sustainable energy projects: on-site and in project offices. Others are part of the broader clean energy ecosystem, including positions with energy retailers, utilities infrastructure providers, environmental agencies, and government programmes. If your work contributes to Australia's energy transition in any capacity, it's likely within scope of what we recruit for.

No. While engineers and technical specialists are always in demand, a significant share of renewable energy roles are in administration, project coordination, customer service, policy development, and data analysis. Chandler Macleod works with clients who need the full team (not just the people on the tools), so candidates from a wide range of professional backgrounds find relevant opportunities through us.

We work with renewable energy developers and operators, infrastructure and utilities firms, federal and state government agencies, local councils with sustainability mandates, and energy technology companies ranging from established players to clean tech startups. The sector is broad enough that many organisations that don't identify primarily as "renewable energy" companies are actively recruiting for sustainability and clean energy functions.

We're currently recruiting across Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and New South Wales. Roles range from CBD-based corporate and technology positions to site-based work in regional areas near wind farms, solar precincts, and energy infrastructure projects. Some roles are office-flexible; others require regular or permanent site presence.

Yes. Operations technicians, maintenance coordinators, surveyors, and field operators are often based on or near renewable energy project sites in regional and remote locations, sometimes on rotational rosters. These roles are typically advertised with location and roster details in the job listing. If you're open to site-based or regional work, registering a job alert ensures you don't miss relevant openings.

Australia is in the midst of a major energy transition, with federal and state governments committing to significantly higher renewable energy targets over the next decade. Investment in solar, wind, battery storage, and smart grid infrastructure is driving sustained demand for skilled workers at every level — technical, operational, and strategic. The sector offers long-term career stability and the opportunity to work on projects with a clear environmental purpose. For candidates considering a transition from oil and gas, construction, or engineering, many existing skills transfer directly into renewable energy roles.
