This is an exciting time in the energy industry with the transition to renewable energy. Recent government policy documents outline plans to facilitate increasing transmission interconnection between states and development of renewable energy zones.

You will work closely with the Delivery Manager to coordinate and monitor maintenance activities, provide technical support on‑site, and contribute to performance reporting and governance. Your responsibilities will also include preparing specifications, evaluating tenders, and managing contractor onboarding and compliance. Additionally, you will support the maintenance of high-voltage infrastructure such as transformers, switchgear, and other primary substation equipment.

This role offers flexibility in location and can be based at any Transgrid office, with some travel required to support program delivery across our network.

- A relevant tertiary qualification or extensive technical experience, with additional training in leadership, project or asset management viewed favourably.

- Strong experience in electrical or utility maintenance programs, with a solid understanding of WHS and environmental legislation.

- Excellent decision‑making and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and drive performance outcomes.
