Remote / Work from Home
This is an unique opportunity to deliver an exciting consumer energy pilot to showcase an all-electric future in a community in NSW’s Illawarra region. The Pilot Deployment & Research Manager will be a key role in the project and part of a cutting edge team. You will have responsibility for the design and deployment of the research strategy and delivery of the research outcomes in this world-first project.
You’ll be engaging with householders and their suppliers across a pilot community as they electrify and optimise their home energy systems. The research will combine sociological and qualitative research with quantitative data analysis, based on costs and savings information, home energy data and consumer behaviour.
Rewiring Australia has put electrification on the national agenda as the fastest way to accelerate emissions reduction in Australia. For households this means replacing gas appliances with efficient electric appliances, maximising rooftop solar and supporting storage and EVs that provide energy to the grid.
This deployment project will electrify 500 homes within a single distribution network area. This concentrated location will test the model and reveal important technical and social barriers. The pilot will further identify key economic and regulatory barriers and opportunities that will help us understand how to advance electrification across the nation.
Rewiring Australia created this electrification deployment concept in order to accelerate climate action. We have partnered with an energy solutions company and a network company to undertake a world-first community electrification pilot.
Rewiring Australia will be responsible primarily for the design and execution of the research outcomes as well as the recruitment and engagement of 500 participants. The initial testing stages of the project are planned to start in Q3 2024 with full rollout in 2025 and 2026 including monitoring and research.
Rewiring Australia is a dynamic, growing non-profit organisation. We are the Australian part of a growing international network of climate organisations pushing for rapid emission reduction through electrification. We have shifted the climate and energy debate towards urgent, optimistic action that reduces energy bills for consumers and has the potential to deliver emissions reduction towards a 1.5 degree carbon budget. Most Rewiring Australia staff work remotely but this position will be located with local staff in the 2515 postcode area.
The most important experience for this role is a track record of leading and implementing effective research projects, ideally in the energy or related sectors.
We are open to consider applicants from a wide range of backgrounds and experience. Desirable skills include:
