Investment Analyst / Associate (Infrastructure & Renewables)

Description

Support origination, underwriting, execution and asset management of a growing infrastructure investment program — primary focus on renewables (solar + battery energy storage) with exposure to complementary social infrastructure (e.g., affordable housing). The role combines financial modelling, commercial diligence, transaction support and ongoing portfolio monitoring.

• Ad-hoc strategic analysis: market research (policy, merchant pricing, technology costs), competitor/transaction benchmarking, and input to investment strategy.
• Lead quantitative diligence inputs: cashflows, sensitivity and scenario analysis, capex/O&M schedules, and valuation analysis (DCF, IRR, project/equity returns).
• Asset management & performance monitoring post-acquisition: track KPIs, produce monthly/quarterly reports, and support optimisation initiatives.
• Support transaction execution: term sheet negotiation support, liaise with lenders/advisers, and manage data room workflows.
• Prepare investor reporting materials and assist with fundraising and capital-raising activities.
• Build, maintain and audit detailed financial models for greenfield and brownfield renewable projects (solar, BESS) and social infrastructure assets.
• Support commercial, technical and legal diligence: coordinate external advisers, summarise findings, and produce investment papers and investment committee packs.
• Assist with deal origination and pipeline management: market screens, buyer/seller outreach, and preparation of transaction materials.

Requirements

• Team-player comfortable in a small, hands-on boutique environment.
• Experience with transaction execution (data rooms, diligence trackers, adviser coordination).
• Commercial, pragmatic problem-solver balancing speed and rigour.
• Analyst: 2–5 years; Associate: 4–7 years relevant experience in infrastructure/private equity/investment banking (M&A or project finance), superannuation/private markets investing, or chartered accounting with transaction experience. Preference for candidates with renewables exposure.
• High integrity, attention to detail, and ability to prioritise under pressure.
• Tertiary degree in finance, accounting, engineering, economics or related discipline. Chartered/CAs or CFA candidates desirable.
• Experience in social infrastructure (affordable housing) helpful.
• Strong written and verbal communication — ability to produce concise investment memoranda and present to senior stakeholders.
• Advanced Excel modelling skills — experience building cashflow models for power/energy assets, sensitivity/scenario modelling, and model auditability.
• Direct renewables experience: solar PV, BESS, PPA/merchant market exposure.
• Experience with Australian project finance and regulatory environment.
• Financial valuation skills: DCF, IRR, project vs equity returns, and basic debt modelling.
