This is an assignment for Strongim Bisnis, an initiative of the Australian Government in Solomon Islands.
Dates & duration: September 2025 - February 2026
Location: Remote with Travel to the Solomon Islands
Reports to: Steve Porteus, Director – Engineering and Projects at SolTuna
Intervention/area of focus: Timber
ASI contact representative: Danya Salinas, Strongim Bisnis Program Manager
Background to the Strongim Bisnis program
Solomon Islands Australia Partnership’s Strongim Bisnis program is an economic development initiative to increase economic opportunities and participation for people and businesses in Solomon Islands.
Recognising that Solomon Islands has a small consumer market and economy, dispersed population, and high cost of doing business, Strongim Bisnis identifies and analyses specific sectors that have a high potential for growth and can create new employment and income
generation opportunities.
We facilitate strategic partners (including businesses, government, civil society, and associations) in those sectors to address the root constraints to growth and inclusion (Women, Youth and People living with disabilities) through innovative solutions.
Background to the Assignment
SolTuna Limited, based in Noro in the Solomon Islands, is the country’s leading tuna processor and a major contributor to local employment and economic activity. The company currently depends heavily on diesel-generated energy for its steam and electricity needs, leading to high operational costs and significant carbon emissions.
A 2024 study confirmed that woody biomass from local sources presents a technically viable and sustainable alternative to diesel for process heat generation. Building on this analysis, the next phase will deliver a detailed technical, logistical, and financial design for a biomass boiler system that meets SolTuna’s current and future energy needs.This will include evaluating biomass fuel supply options—both primary and backup sources—assessing infrastructure and site readiness, and designing systems to reduce energy waste. The study will also explore staged integration of biomass-powered electricity generation and provide initial recommendations for integrating solar energy in a hybrid setup.
This work supports SolTuna’s long-term goals to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, improve operational resilience, and transition to cleaner, locally sourced renewable energy.

Program Background
The SKALA Program is a significant Australian investment designed to help Indonesia address regional disparities in development. SKALA will contribute to this objective by strengthening selected elements of Indonesia’s large and complex decentralised government system responsible for the delivery of basic services (Layanan Dasar). The SKALA Program’s core approach is to facilitate better collaboration (Kolaborasi) between Indonesian government stakeholders, at national and subnational levels, to help realise synergies (Sinergi) that will trigger improved service delivery. Moreover, SKALA will build on, and take to scale, the successes and learning from Australia’s previous 17 years of support to Indonesia’s decentralised government system. The SKALA Program is to be implemented through the following three pillars:
§ Pillar 1: Stronger national level enabling environment for sub-national service delivery
§ Pillar 2: Better sub-national governance for service delivery
§ Pillar 3: Greater participation, representation and influence for women, people with disabilities and vulnerable groups
SKALA is implemented at the national level with an office in Jakarta and at the subnational level with offices in Aceh, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Maluku, Gorontalo, Kalimantan Utara, Tanah Papua. In addition to the 3 pillars, SKALA works across 4 general themes of Public Financial Management, Minimum Service Standards, Data and Analysis and GEDSI.
