Site Acquisition Manager

About Evie Networks
 
At Evie Networks, we are building Australia's largest public electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging network. Our mission is simple: to give EV drivers the freedom to "go anywhere" with total confidence.
 
As Australia transitions to a cleaner transport future, we are rapidly expanding our footprint across highway corridors, retail centers, quick-service restaurants (QSR), grocery hubs, and local communities. 
 
To support our ambitious national rollout targets, we are looking for a tenacious, commercial, and relationship-driven Site Acquisition Manager to help power our next phase of growth.
 
The Opportunity
 
As a Site Acquisition Manager, you will play a pivotal role in shaping Australia's EV landscape. Reporting directly to the Head of Property, you will own the end-to-end site acquisition lifecycle - identifying, negotiating, and securing prime locations for our fast and ultra-fast charging infrastructure.
 
You will act as the face of Evie to key property partners, building high-value, long-term relationships with major retail, fuel, QSR, grocery landholders, and commercial property developers across the country.
 
What You'll Do 

• Pipeline Growth & Site Selection: Identify, evaluate, and secure high-quality sites for EV charging infrastructure across retail, QSR, fuel, highway, and community precincts.
• Commercial Negotiation: Lead end-to-end commercial negotiations for leases, licenses, easements, and access agreements that meet Evie's commercial, technical, and legal standards.
• Partner & Stakeholder Management: Manage executive-level relationships with strategic property partners, acting as their key point of contact and proactively expanding pipeline opportunities within their portfolios.
• Portfolio Project Management: Drive prospective sites through due diligence, Site Feasibility Reports (SFRs), board approvals, and contract execution through to handover to our Delivery and Construction teams.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with internal Legal, Network Planning & Engineering, Delivery, and Finance teams to ensure seamless execution and commercial viability.
• Funding & Tender Support: Assist with property data inputs for major grant applications, funding proposals (e.g., ARENA), and co-funding programs.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ Years' Experience: Proven track record in site acquisition, commercial leasing, or property development—ideally across retail, infrastructure, telecommunications, or energy sectors.
• Deal-Making Expertise: Demonstrated success leading and executing commercial leases, licenses, and easements with complex property portfolios.
• High-Level Stakeholder Skills: Exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship-management skills, with experience dealing at the C-suite/executive level.
• Cross-Functional Influence: Ability to navigate, align, and influence internal technical, legal, and financial teams without formal authority.
• Tenacious & Team-First Mindset: A creative problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys collaborating to win outcomes across the entire property portfolio.

Nice to Haves (Desirable)

• Existing property networks across Australian QSR, retail, fuel, or grocery sectors.
• Prior exposure to the EV charging, telecommunications, energy, or infrastructure industries.
• Working knowledge of local planning/zoning approval processes and site feasibility assessments.
• Experience using CRM, GIS, or property pipeline management tools.
• A genuine passion for sustainability and the EV transition!

Why Join Evie?

• Shape the Future: Be at the forefront of the green energy transition and build infrastructure that directly impacts carbon reduction across Australia.
• High-Growth Culture: Work alongside a collaborative, driven, and supportive team of industry specialists.
• Flexibility: Enjoy a supportive, hybrid work environment that trusts you to deliver results.
• Real Ownership: Own your portfolio end-to-end and see your deals turn into physical infrastructure on the ground.
