Bendigo, Victoria, Australia Powercor Australia Ltd Full time

CitiPower and Powercor are committed to creating opportunities for First Peoples in the energy industry through trade and professional career pathways. We recognize the financial barriers to undertaking study and are offering scholarships for First Peoples undertaking a Pre-Apprenticeship Cert II in Electrotechnology.

The scholarship is valued at up to $2,000 and aims to assist First Peoples with costs associated with studying, such as tools, clothing, rent, childcare, or to supplement income. The 2025 scholarship runs across Bunurong (Brooklyn), Wurundjeri (Burnley), Dja Dja Wurrung (Bendigo), Yorta Yorta (Shepparton), Wadawurrung (Ballarat), Gunditjmara, and Eastern Maar (Warrnambool) countries for those interested in a career in the electrical industry.

Applicants who apply before 14 April 2025 will also undertake additional hands-on training at CitiPower and Powercor depots, including:

  • Introduction to power tools
  • Recruitment support (covering CVs, aptitude testing, interview preparation)

Students in the program will be provided PPE for their studies.

We encourage women (including transgender women) and non-binary and gender-diverse people to explore opportunities in electrical engineering. Developed with leading universities, this program offers a three-year scholarship that includes:

  • $5,000 – $10,000 in financial assistance annually
  • 12 weeks of paid work experience in the penultimate year
  • A personal mentor throughout the program
  • Automatic consideration for our graduate engineering assessment day

Applications are invited from students at:

  • University of Melbourne: Bachelor of Science, specializing in Electrical Systems, with an intent to pursue a Master of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
  • RMIT University: Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, specializing in Power Engineering

Visit the respective university's scholarship page for more information and to apply.

Our scholarship supports women (including transgender women), non-binary, and gender-diverse individuals undertaking a Pre-Apprenticeship Cert II in Electrotechnology. Established in 2017, it aims to increase the number of women in trades by supporting those motivated to enter the electrical industry.

The scholarship, valued at up to $2,000, is awarded based on commitment and motivation to succeed in the electrical industry. Funds can be used for fees, tools, PPE, clothing, rent, childcare, or income supplementation during studies.

Recipients are not obligated to apply for roles with our company but are considered for our apprenticeship program when it opens. Applications are reviewed three times annually: April, August, and December.

Vacation Program

This program is designed for students entering their final undergraduate year in electrical or mechatronics engineering. It offers paid work experience over 12 weeks from November to February, providing insight into our operations and exposure to real projects such as solar enablement, demand flexibility, and substation testing.

Participants work with skilled professionals, solving problems and delivering outcomes, with full mentorship support. Participation also includes automatic consideration for our graduate program.

Applications open mid-July.
