Dorrell worked at Macquarie Group, and at 2001 at age 25 moved from the company's Sydney headquarters to work in the United States. He stated that the company "didn’t take the U.S. all that seriously", and "that's why a 25-year-old kid could be sent over here and be one of six people looking at this whole market".
Dorrell co-founded Stonepeak with Trent Vichie. In April 2025, Forbes estimated Dorrell's net worth at US$8.5 billion.
