• Work with delivery teams and the EPC/O&M provider to ensure defects are captured, allocated, rectified and tracked through to final completion and operational handover.
• Contribute to asset lifecycle planning, including end-of-warranty reviews, augmentation planning, major maintenance forecasting and reinvestment planning.

Asset Performance, Safety and Compliance

• Lead owner-side HSE governance for the Bulabul 1 asset, including conducting periodic site safety reviews, maintaining HSE reporting to internal and external stakeholders, and ensuring compliance with applicable WHS legislation, safety codes, and emergency response protocols.
• Monitor, analyse and report on the technical and operational performance of Bulabul 1, including availability, reliability, energy yield, round-trip efficiency and degradation metrics.

O&M, Contractor and Stakeholder Management

• Manage the EPC/O&M provider and relevant suppliers from an owner’s perspective, including mobilisation, KPI and service level monitoring, contract administration, claims interface and periodic business reviews.
• Coordinate with the EPC/O&M provider and internal stakeholders to ensure defect rectification, maintenance scopes and site access arrangements are planned, executed and closed out safely and in accordance with contractual obligations.

Offtake Compliance and Revenue Optimisation

• Work collaboratively with the Trading and Operations team to define and maintain the functional interface between Asset Management and Trading and Operations ensuring dispatch strategy is aligned with offtake obligations, warranty and degradation thresholds, and agreed merchant exposure parameters.
• Identify and flag any operational event — including outages, curtailment, degradation, or dispatch constraints — that could trigger performance shortfalls, liquidated damages provisions, or breach notifications under either offtake agreement.

Reporting and Analytics

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance operational efficiency, safety and asset performance, including optimisation of availability, round trip efficiency, degradation, augmentation strategy and maintenance timing.
• Lead improvements in asset monitoring systems, SCADA/data flows, dashboards, performance metrics and defect/case management processes.

• Maintain accurate asset records including maintenance logs, compliance records, incident reports and O&M documentation.

Lender and Investor Compliance

• Coordinate with the lenders’ independent technical advisor (ITA), including preparation of quarterly technical reports, facilitation of site access, notifications in respect of major maintenance events, and management of consent thresholds under the project finance facility.
