Reporting Manager

Project Manager - AMPYR Distributed Energy

Overview

The Project Coordinator supports the Project Manager in delivering ADE’s distributed BESS portfolio, providing the project controls, coordination, documentation and administrative backbone that allows multiple 5MW sites to be delivered concurrently and to a repeatable standard. The role keeps schedules, budgets, risk and action registers, procurement records and reporting current and accurate, coordinates contractors, suppliers and internal stakeholders, and ensures project and governance documentation is complete and audit-ready from Notice to Proceed (NTP) through construction, commissioning, energisation and handover to Asset Management.

Reporting to the Project Manager, this is a hands-on coordination and project-controls role focused on the day-to-day administration of delivery across assigned sites. It removes administrative and coordination load from the Project Manager so that delivery scales across the 60-site build-out, and is a development pathway toward a Project Manager role within ADE.
