At Powerlink, every possibility starts with you

We believe life's about possibilities. And so is the future. That's why we need you.

We're working at the heart of Queensland's energy industry to maintain a safe, reliable and cost-effective transmission network.

Internship possibilities start with us.

Spend your summer building something that lasts - for your future and Queensland's.

We love solving complex problems at Powerlink, so our Vacation Program gives you the opportunity to do just that.

Over 13-weeks, you'll learn about our industry and business, and get stuck into interesting, cutting-edge projects that aren't being delivered anywhere else in Queensland, while enjoying all the benefits of a Powerlink career.

Through every solution found and lesson learned, you'll gain new skills and knowledge that will set you apart from your peers. That means powerful opportunities for your career.
