As the Renewable Energy Policy Graduate, you will develop strong research and policy skills as you work on projects that contribute to the state's transition to renewable energy and net zero emissions, with a focus on developing large-scale renewable energy generation and storage in Victoria.

You will gain a good understanding of the inter-relationships between energy policy development and program delivery through three related placements – starting with Energy Strategy, then into the Policy Partnerships team in Water and Catchments Group with a focus on improving long-term water security through the water, energy and waste nexus, and finally in Climate Science Division where you will support the finalisation of the Climate Science Report through stakeholder engagement, writing content and researching the best available Climate Science.

The DEECA Science Graduate Program is a two-year learning and development initiative open to recent graduates of science, natural resource management including ecology, conservation, sustainability, geoscience and geology, agriculture, urban and regional planning, computer science, engineering or related fields.


As a graduate, you'll:

enjoy flexible work principles, including start times (7am-7pm) and hybrid work teams (mix of on-site and remote work).
commence as an ongoing employee - with guaranteed job at the end of the program
upon successful completion of the program, be reclassified to a VPS 3 salary of $74580.
be supported with mentors and buddies
participate in extensive learning and development - program guided and self-directed

We recognise the significant responsibility our Department has as land and natural resource manager to support self-determination and create opportunities for Traditional Owners to care for the Country and provide opportunities to enhance First Peoples' connection to the Country.

We are committed to creating a culturally safe environment, where individuals feel safe, valued and able to enable their culture, spiritual and belief systems.

The coolest thing about my role has been the opportunities I've had to get out in the field and work with critically endangered species, such as the Helmeted Honeyeaters.
