Employment Spotlight: Jamie Connolly, Mobilisation Coordinator at Zenith Energy
Since joining Zenith Energy in May 2023, Jamie Connolly has made a remarkable impact as our Mobilisation Coordinator. In her role, Jamie organises and facilitates the mobilisation of workers, clients, and contractors across our operations and projects, ensuring everyone arrives on-site ready to work. Her responsibilities have included key site visits, such as the opening of Australia’s largest off-grid wind farm and hybrid power system at Kathleen Valley—an event attended by the WA Minister for Energy, our board of directors, investors, bankers, and partners.
Reflecting on what initially drew her to Zenith, Jamie shares, “What really attracted me to Zenith was the involvement of the Chairman and the Executive team with employees—never treating us like just a number. We’re a close-knit community that genuinely looks out for one another.”
Zenith’s inclusive and growth-oriented culture has enabled Jamie to pursue her passions and develop her skills. “Zenith has a very inclusive culture that promotes learning and growth. I feel encouraged to find my passion, speak up, and upskill to move into different roles within the company,” she says.
In just nine months, Jamie received a SPARK Award in recognition of her dedication and was offered an acting senior role within her first year. This opportunity, combined with Zenith’s support in achieving a certificate in Business Management, reflects the company’s trust and confidence in her abilities. “Zenith has helped me see my potential and what I’m capable of,” she notes. “My time in the role of ‘Acting Senior’ has given me the confidence to take on future challenges and opportunities.”
Zenith Energy’s commitment to work-life balance and well-being has also been important in Jamie’s journey. “With Zenith’s flexibility in working hours and its work-from-home policy, taking time off when needed is never a problem. The support I’ve received has made it easy to ask for help and feel valued as a team member.”
Looking ahead, Jamie envisions advancing into a senior role, gaining management experience, and supporting her colleagues as a leader. “Zenith is growing and solidifying its presence in the market, and I’m excited to be part of this journey and see where my career takes me.”
Jamie’s story is a testament to Zenith’s commitment to empowering employees and fostering professional growth.
