Wind Energy Consultant
We’re excited to be hiring an experienced Wind Energy Consultant with a focus on the onshore wind sector. The position is based in our Melbourne office in Australia where you will be joining a growing and dynamic team which is already well established in Wind, Solar and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). You will be supported by the wider international team in Everoze which has already established wind experience in Europe and that has been supporting local team in wind projects.
Salary: A competitive basic salary related to your experience, plus pension scheme, annual profit share and route into company ownership.
Deadline for applications: 20th June 2025.
Location: Preferably the Melbourne office with option to work remotely in other parts of Australia.
Hours: Normal office hours with a healthy level of flexibility. Preference for 5 days per week but will consider candidates who would prefer part-time with a minimum of 3 days per week.
Everoze is at the heart of the renewable energy transition. We are looking for a recognised leader in the sector with minimum 3 years’ experience as a wind energy consultant with relevant work experience in renewables or the wider energy industry. Particular experience in the Australian and Asia Pacific renewables landscape will be highly valued.
What We offer:
We are owned by the employees and offer a route into ownership for all new staff;
A flexible approach: We believe that a strong and healthy work life needs a strong a healthy home life. We encourage flexible working practices for all to be there for the kids swim lessons, a favourite hobby or learning new skills. Many of our partners work part time or adopt other flexible ways of working to achieve this balance within our self-managed structure.
Real impact: We work with some of the biggest brands in the energy sector. We are regularly asked to share our thought leadership at the sector’s top conferences. You could be at the heart of this: conducting analysis which informs major investment and policy decisions;
Exposure: We work with clients ranging from multinational banks to international investors to community energy groups. You will be exposed to the wide range of projects financed and developed by these clients and you’ll work closely with them to address new challenges and opportunities at each turn;
A fast-growth environment: We set up shop with 6 partners in September 2015. Now we’re 80 strong and counting, based across the UK, France, Spain, Australia & Singapore.
The flattest of flat organisations: Let’s be upfront: if you thrive on hierarchy and structure, Everoze isn’t the company for you. But if you are looking for a work environment where the strength of your ideas are valued as much as your years of experience, then welcome home. You’ll be given the freedom and autonomy to shape your own career; it’s not for everyone, and with freedom comes responsibility – but we sure enjoy the buzz of owning our own careers;
The team works: Goodbye departmental silos! We get our offshore wind experts working on energy storage, our UK team working on French projects, our onshore wind specialists branching into solar. It keeps things fresh for us and more importantly, spurs the creative cross-fertilisation of ideas which helps us deliver unique insights and value to our clients;
Top-notch mentorship: Most of us at Everoze have been in the renewables and energy business for well over a decade, and some of us have previously led large teams and business units. We’d love to share some of this experience, through assigning you an internal mentor to help guide your professional development. And we hope that you can return the favour by offering feedback for us too, because whether you’ve got 3 months experience, or 30 years, we’ve all got more to learn;
No utilisation targets: Yes that’s right! We don’t report on, or check staff utilisation to assess team or individual performance. We operate on trust within the team. We find that happy and motivated staff are able to find the right balance between commercial work, business development and administration;
Fostering entrepreneurship: If you have a good idea for a new business area, we empower you to follow it. OK, lots of companies say that, right? Well, many of our staff are actively involved in new ventures which have led to creating new companies or lines of work. We’re serious about this and we have systems for selecting new opportunities and a budget for investing in them.
What you will be doing:
Your work will be mainly focused on the technical and commercial consultancy services for onshore wind projects and to a less extent in PV and hybrid projects. You will be advising developers, operators, lenders and investors in the Australian markets as well as supporting our team members in other geographies like France and the UK. Specific activities will include:
- Conducting pre- and post-construction onshore wind assessments – both as project manager and supporting roles. These assessments are including but not limited:

- Site origination for prospective development locations;
- Development of bankable wind monitoring campaigns;
- Wind data monitoring for masts and remote sensing devices;
- Wind turbine layout development;
- Remote Sensing Device (RSD) validations;
- Wind flow modelling with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD);
