James Cain has 30 years of experience in property, infrastructure, and major capital works in the public and private sectors and is a current Director of Inland Rail and Non-Executive Director at Mirvac.
He has been appointed for a three-year term, commencing 1 March 2025.
The appointment will support Snowy to deliver on its major projects, crucial to nation’s reliable renewable energy transformation.
The government thanks outgoing Chair David Knox for his service over the past five years including on the Snowy 2.0 reset.
Federal Minister for Finance Katy Gallagher said “Snowy 2.0 is one of the most complex engineering projects in the world and we are thrilled to have someone of Mr Cain’s experience on board as it moves closer to completion. I’d also like to thank Mr Knox for his contribution to this vital project.”
Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen said “after inheriting a decade of Coalition chaos and hidden delays on Snowy 2.0, the Albanese Government is delivering an energy system Australians deserve, including Snowy 2.0 which will provide enough renewable energy and storage to power 3 million homes a week.”
“Mr Cain’s decades of experience working on infrastructure projects in the public and private sector makes him an excellent choice to drive this project for the benefit of all Australians.”
