Australia is in the middle of an important transition from fossil fuel-based energy systems to more renewable energy options. At its current rate, it is on track for a goal of 50% renewable electricity by 2025. The transition also creates job opportunities. As the workforce manager for a huge solar project in North West Victoria, Chandler Macleod Group is making sure that these opportunities benefit the local community.

Australia’s top solar spot

In 2018, Chandler Macleod Group (CMG) was appointed as the workforce management provider for a new 112 Megawatt Karadoc Solar Farm being constructed by Beon Energy Solutions. Remotely located in North West Victoria - Australia's top solar spot due to the state's highest solar exposure and average sunshine hours - the farm will generate enough power to supply 110,000 homes.

Prioritizing social value

Chandler Macleod Group was tasked with recruiting and employing a diverse and strictly local workforce of 300 people. Chandler Macleod Group partnered with six local community groups to ensure that the majority of the construction workers were locally sourced, and that people were from a variety of different backgrounds including female, indigenous and mature workers and the long-term unemployed.
