**We are currently seeking enthusiastic, motivated individuals for two senior roles within our Internal Communications Team to meet future growth in our industry**
- Opportunity to be part of a growing industry
- Leading the transmission industry in Australia with innovation and growth
- Be part of a collaborative and diverse team

Our high voltage transmission business is at the heart of Queensland’s transformation to a low carbon energy future. And that’s not just our view. Even Bill Gates acknowledges there can be no transition without transmission.

This represents a great opportunity to truly influence and guide Powerlink as it strives to deliver a world class energy future for all Queenslanders.

Both roles must thrive on responsiveness, collaboration and celebrating our work. We are looking for sophisticated storytellers, narrative doyens and plain-English experts. Help us drive continuous channel improvement by refining the many ways we engage employees, update them on our rapidly changing electricity sector and promote the feats of our diverse, world-class workforce.
