At Transgrid, we're not just connecting infrastructure, we're enabling Australia's transition to a cleaner, more reliable and more sustainable energy system.
We're looking for an exceptional commercial leader to help shape opportunities from conception through to transaction, ensuring the right commercial frameworks are in place to deliver long-term value for customers, communities and the energy market
This is not a traditional commercial role.
You will lead the legal and commercial strategy for major emerging network projects and complex transactions, helping to shape commercial frameworks, contractual models, governance structures and risk allocation mechanisms that support nationally significant infrastructure development.
Working directly with executive leaders, legal advisors, developers, investors, regulators and delivery partners, you'll play a pivotal role in navigating the commercial, legal and regulatory complexities that underpin successful project development.
You will be at the forefront of commercial negotiations, transaction development and strategic decision-making, influencing projects long before construction begins.
You're a commercially astute leader who thrives in complex environments and enjoys influencing strategic outcomes.
If you're passionate about complex transactions, strategic negotiations and infrastructure development, and want your work to have a genuine impact on Australia's energy future, we'd love to hear from you.
Applications close on the 18th of October 2026. Please note, our vacancy close dates may be subject to change, and we will assess applications as they are received.
