ASX 200 energy and utilities business
Actively sourcing
A demand profile the Exchange is actively sourcing against. The sponsor is not confirmed on this board, and we say so rather than implying a signed mandate. Registering interest puts you in front of the sponsor when the brief converts.
The problem this seat exists to solve
The board is majority independent as the ASX Principles recommend, but has no director who has governed a large-scale generation or grid transition in another market. Two directors approach the ten-year point at which Box 2.3 requires independence to be reassessed.
The remit
- Bring governance experience of a completed energy transition programme
- Serve on the risk or sustainability committee
- Test capital allocation between legacy assets and transition investment
- Support the board through a scheduled renewal of two long-serving directors
What the sponsor will not compromise on
- Board or executive experience in generation, transmission or regulated utilities
- Direct exposure to a transition programme in a market that has completed one
- Eligibility to obtain an Australian Director Identification Number
- Availability for 9–11 board meetings a year plus committees and site visits
Terms
- Engagement
- Three-year term, subject to rotation and re-election under the constitution.
- Compensation
- AUD 160,000 – 210,000 a year including committee fees.
- Cross-border
- The board retains its two Australian-resident directors under Corporations Act s.201A(2), so a non-resident appointment is available on this board.
- Time commitment in this market
- Typically 8–11 board meetings a year plus committee cycles and a strategy offsite; site visits are expected in resources and infrastructure.
Before you apply — Australia
No nationality test applies to you. The board must keep two Australian-resident directors, so a foreign appointment is a decision about the board's whole composition rather than about you alone.
- Residency test
- At least two of the three minimum directors of a public company must ordinarily reside in Australia (Corporations Act s.201A(2)). On a larger listed board this is rarely binding, but on a smaller one it can be the reason a foreign candidate is declined.
- Nationality test
- None.
- Work authorisation
- A non-resident non-executive director attending board meetings does not require a work visa. An executive or interim operating role requires a Subclass 482 or equivalent.
- Tenure limit once appointed
- No hard cap. Box 2.3 of the ASX Principles treats service of more than ten years as a factor that may compromise independence, requiring the board to satisfy itself and disclose its reasoning.
