- Monitor energy usage and provide insights to support reporting and performance improvement
- Support delivery of the Climate Transition Action Plan (CTAP) across design, construction, operations and procurement
- Engage suppliers on climate risk and GHG management via CDP and other platforms
- Collaborate with project and asset teams to embed sustainability requirements
- Prepare communications, presentations and case studies to highlight sustainability achievements
- Provide training and support to employees and contractors involved in decarbonisation activities

- Familiarity with low-carbon building materials and infrastructure sustainability
- Strong analytical and data management skills, with proficiency in Excel, Tableau or Power BI
- Ability to influence stakeholders and foster continuous improvement in sustainability governance
- Knowledge of sustainability frameworks such as TCFD, ISSB, ASRS, GHG Protocol, SBTi, NGER, ISC ratings
If you meet some of these requirements, but not all, we encourage you to submit your application.
With a career at Transurban, you'll enjoy a range of benefits, including:
- A range of flexible working and leave options, including the option to purchase an additional six weeks of leave each year
- 16 weeks paid parental leave (regardless of gender or carer status), with no waiting period, and Superannuation paid during unpaid leave
- Learning and development opportunities to support your career interests
- Health and wellbeing support-access to Headspace and our EAP program, wellness facilities, and more
- Share offers and insurance benefits
- Social activities, community give-back programs and paid volunteer days
We offer a range of flexible working and leave options, so you can balance your work and life commitments and interests. Have a conversation with us about how this could work for you.
We embrace diversity with a foundation of safety, wellbeing and inclusion; where everyone belongs. We treat everyone with fairness, consideration and respect, regardless of gender, gender identity, marital or family status, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural or socio-economic background, perspective, and experience - whether they work for us or not.
