About the Role

This role is central to delivering land access across Origin's portfolio of renewable and cleaner energy projects. You'll lead engagement with landowners from early conversations through to negotiated agreements, helping unlock access to land for development and construction activities.

Working across wind, solar and/or firming projects, you'll manage the full lifecycle of land access - from understanding landholder sentiment and operational impacts, through to negotiating agreements and supporting their execution.

You'll work closely with internal project teams and external legal partners, bringing a strong commercial lens to agreements while maintaining a focus on building respectful, long-term relationships with landholders.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading landowner engagement, from early-stage discussions through to agreement execution

• Negotiating land access and property-related agreements (e.g. leases, easements, options), including development of detailed negotiation strategies and delivery plans.

• Understanding landholder operations and managing project impacts and expectations

• Providing input on risks, terms and commercial considerations for land access

• Supporting existing land agreements and ongoing land and Origin owned property management matters

This role sits within Origin's Government, Community and Approvals environment, supporting the Development and Construction team with delivery of renewable and cleaner energy projects across Australia and can be based at either our Sydney or Brisbane offices.

About You

You bring a strong balance of relationship management and commercial thinking, with the ability to navigate complex conversations and reach practical outcomes.

You're comfortable working in evolving project environments and enjoy being out engaging with stakeholders, not just behind a desk.

You'll bring:

• Experience negotiatng agreements, ideally related to land, property or infrastructure

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, particularly in building trust with landowners

• Commercial acumen and the ability to assess risk, value and long term implications

• Confidence leading negotiations and facilitating discussions with multiple parties

• Understanding of rural or agricultural environments (highly regarded)
