About Us
Globally, energy markets are in transition to a net zero future and the entities within these markets are transforming their underlying business models to ensure that they stay relevant, sustainable and profitable. As one of Australia’s largest energy providers, we are proud of our purpose to lead and accelerate the clean energy transformation for all.
Our ability to deliver on this Purpose will be dependent on our people.

You’ll help ensure our teams operate with confidence and integrity, aligned to our Compliance Management System and the Three Lines of Defence model.
This is a great opportunity to influence how we manage risk, support business decisions, and maintain trust with our customers and regulators—all while contributing to a more sustainable energy future.
