What you’ll do
In your new role as a Ratings Analyst in the Equifax ANZ Operations team, your primary focus is to drive transparency in the construction and renewable energy industries using Equifax’s specialised rating tools, specifically the Renewable Energy Developer Rating Scheme (DRS) and the Independent Construction Industry Ratings Tool (iCIRT) to assess entities. Your ultimate output will be evidence-based assessment reports for our customers that look beyond financial ratios to measure the maturity of an entity’s conduct, capability, and commitment to maintaining a social license to operate.
You will utilise your financial literacy skills as well as your ability to analyse entities operating in the construction and renewable energy industries to identify high-risk or low-trust characteristics within our risk frameworks. For the renewable energy assessments, a critical component of your role will involve assessing engagement performance across five distinct stakeholder groups: First Nations, Landholders, Neighbours, Broader Community, and Local Government. Using your strong stakeholder management skills, you will build rapport with external senior stakeholders to obtain key information as per the report requirements and assessment scope. You will lead meetings to understand the business and evaluate governance structures and operating systems, later facilitating discussions with the entity’s stakeholders regarding their rating outcomes and the key drivers behind them. You can demonstrate your time management, multi-tasking and prioritisation skills, and the ability to meet deadlines and performance targets.
In addition, you will keep abreast of industry developments to ensure you are familiar with the business drivers, dynamics, macro-economic environment and challenges across a range of markets.
