Project Management Planet was recently interviewed by New Energy Quarterly, Australia’s leading renewable energy publication, to discuss the state of renewable energy project management and training in Australia. The magazine has previously featured executives from Siemens Energy, Octopus Investments, CBRE, Quintas, Fluence, GHD, and the Australian Government.

In the interview, we discussed:

1. How project management in the renewable energy sector differs from other industries
2. How project managers help secure social licence for renewable energy projects
3. Whether Australia is ready — from a skills and training perspective — for the renewable energy transition
4. Whether the government is doing enough to support retraining and upskilling
5. What excites us most about the future of renewable energy project management

“There’s a reason why project management is the second highest paying job in Australia that doesn’t require a university degree. Project managers are at the centre of Australia’s renewable energy transition — integrating digital transformation, sustainability, and community outcomes to deliver the infrastructure that will define our net-zero future.”
