Environmental Advisor

About us

Are you a hands-on environmental professional who thrives in a fast-paced, purpose-driven workplace? We're looking for an Environmental Advisor who's passionate about sustainability, confident in compliance, and ready to support upstream gas operations that are safe, sustainable, and future-focused. In this newly created role, you'll partner with our operations, HSE, and leadership teams to manage environmental performance across our sites and projects. At OGT Energy, we are a nimble and growing energy company playing a key role in Australia's domestic gas supply and energy transition.

OGT Energy is a new organisation with deep experience in the provision of conventional gas. Our vision is to provide a dependable gas supply assisting energy reliability while exploring innovative uses of our gas fields and infrastructure in support of the energy transition. Our assets have a long-term future supporting a reliable gas supply for the Australian domestic market and Queensland's energy transition.

We supply gas from our conventional gas fields to the Australian domestic market from our recently acquired Silver Springs, Churchie and Wallumbilla LPG Plants in Queensland's Surat / Bowen Basin. Sales gas, LPG and oil produced from our fields is processed at our Wallumbilla LPG plant for delivery to Australian consumers. We are exploring additional ways to leverage our assets to support the energy transition, including by providing open access to others to our processing facilities, and by storing gas to be available for standby generation in times of low renewable generation.

OGT Energy prides itself on its agility and nimbleness to navigate a changing energy landscape. Our success depends on the success of our people, who are empowered to have a voice, make decisions and be multiskilled across different roles. We believe diversity drives innovation, so we are building a culture where difference is valued.
