Historical work

Development opportunities beyond the core programs.

The project record includes wind-workforce application preparation and a proposed solar-and-battery tender delivery model. This preparatory work considered workforce requirements and delivery responsibilities. It is distinct from awarded programs and completed customer projects.

Collaboration

Advance a defined part of the portfolio.

We welcome a customer requirement, supplier capability or research proposal that can be assessed on its own merits. A standalone project does not need to wait for the integrated steel program.
