  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to work independently.
  • Experience in regulatory, technical, or administrative environments is highly regarded.

Desirable Qualifications

  • Relevant qualifications in energy, environmental science, public administration, or a related field are desirable but not essential.

What you'll get in return

  • Meaningful work that contributes to Australia's energy efficiency goals and supports the transition to Net Zero.
  • Competitive hourly rate.
  • Flexible working arrangements to support work-life balance, including working from home options.
