These customers include a large number of households, as well as commercial and industrial businesses, world class arts, health and sporting precincts, popular tourism regions and the biggest infrastructure projects in Victoria.


We provide reliable, safe and affordable electricity and our businesses are independently rated as the best in the country for their efficiency.

Sustaining this is all the more critical and challenging as greater electrification of homes, fleets and industries becomes a core strategy for reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change.

We value inclusive leadership and teams and celebrate the results of succeeding together.
But our greatest priority is the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and the communities we operate within.

About the role:

What you'll deliver:

  • Work with all stakeholders to create, maintain and continuously improve a common, documented work practices framework relating to work on VPN networks.
  • Produce, review and edit technical documents that underpin the safe work framework.
  • Undertake audits and ensure audit findings influence subsequent plans, KPIs and other procedural outcomes where required.
  • Represent and preserve the organisations best interests on VESI, state and national working groups and committees (e.g. Green Book and Live HV).
  • Undertake investigations of workplace incidents (which may be joint investigations with contractors).
  • Build and maintain positive relationships with key stakeholders, including Field Delivery Managers, Field Leaders, HS representatives (HSR's), Union representatives, Health and Safety Advisers, other network operators, field workers and contractors.
  • Provide day to day technical and work practices advice to HSE and operations, including input on key issues and incident & hazard reports.

To succeed in the role, you'll have:

  • Qualified to Certificate III level (or equivalent) in a trade that underpins the role, for example: Electrical Fitter, Cable Jointer or Lineworker.
  • Extensive work experience working on ESI networks.
  • Advanced technical writing skills honed via exposure to developing procedures/work instructions.
  • Sound incident investigation and report writing experience.
  • Exposure to formal risk analysis and an understanding of safety in design principles.
