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.

The Opportunity

A 6-month contract, based from any of our Transgrid locations, to play a key part in planning and managing high-voltage system outages that support the safe and efficient delivery of major infrastructure projects.
