Join the team that is changing the energy industry for good by raising the bar on renewables.

Our Story

Windlab is Australia’s clean energy pioneer. For over 20 years, we have set new standards in the development and construction of clean energy infrastructure through an unwavering commitment to balance the needs of our stakeholders, community, Country, and the environment.

We’re raising the bar on renewables through our commitment to the highest standards from day one, driven by a long-term view and a strong sense of integrity. Our in-house experts bring the agility and technical insight needed to innovate quickly and solve complex challenges. And through genuine partnerships, we work closely with communities to ensure our projects deliver meaningful and lasting benefits.

We recognise that we operate on the traditional lands of First Nations peoples who have a continued sacred connection to Country, and with that comes responsibility. We are committed to embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, stories, and knowledge in everything we do.

Our values reflect who we are, how we work, and what we stand for:

Be tenacious. Adapting and flexing helps us overcome challenges and navigate change. We are proactive and responsive, comfortable in complexity.
Raise the bar. Creating new standards beats being limited by existing ones. We are always learning, seeking out opportunities to improve, willing to get our hands (and boots) dirty.
Think differently. Innovative solutions are guided by science, cutting edge methods, and the highest levels of expertise. We create magic when we put our heads together and remain open to the possibilities.
Be ruthlessly responsible. We do the right thing because we want to, not because we have to. We listen, show compassion, keep our promises, and create lasting benefits for our people, community, environment, and Country.

Be part of the change

The Wind Engineer will lead and support resource analysis across Windlab’s wind project portfolio throughout the development lifecycle. This role is suited to someone with strong wind resource assessment, energy yield analysis, and wind farm modelling experience, who enjoys working across projects from early feasibility through to late‑stage pre‑construction.

You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team and contribute technical expertise across multiple projects, applying a mixture of industry‑standard and Windlab’s inhouse wind modelling and analysis tools.

Key responsibilities include:

Wind resource, wake and energy yield modelling using tools such as OpenWind, Meteodyn or similar software
Wind farm concept and preliminary layout design
Development of wind monitoring strategies, measurement campaigns and resource monitoring plans
Review and interpretation of site measurements, surveys and specialist studies
Support of projects through early development to pre‑construction
Field visits and engagement with internal and external stakeholders as required

The position can be in either Brisbane or Canberra. Consideration would be given to Melbourne and Sydney for experienced candidates.

What sets you apart

This role suits a wind engineering professional with hands‑on experience in wind energy modelling, analysis and assessment, and a practical understanding of the wind farm development lifecycle. You are comfortable working in the detail, rigorously testing inputs, assumptions and outputs to deliver robust, defensible technical results.

You bring experience in wind resource assessment, energy yield analysis, and wind farm design and optimisation, using tools such as OpenWind, WindFarmer or WindPRO, ideally with experience with CFD modelling and exposure to mesoscale modelling. You apply sound engineering judgement to translate analysis into clear, practical insights that support development and investment decisions.

You are adaptable in your approach to tools and methods and are open to learning, using and contributing to the development of in‑house tools, workflows and standards, with a focus on quality and continuous improvement. You value consistency and robustness in how technical analysis is delivered and are comfortable working within evolving frameworks.

You work effectively across multiple technical workstreams and within multidisciplinary teams, communicating clearly with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders. You are detail‑oriented, commercially aware and proactive, with a strong sense of ownership and a genuine commitment to renewable energy.
