Through purpose and people - not just through the infrastructure we operate, but through the way we show up for each other, our customers’ and our communities. The future of energy is in our hands. Let’s shape it together.

Go beyond keeping the lights on. Solve energy challenges that matter most.

  • Deliver a diverse portfolio of transmission brownfield projects, strengthening and renewing critical energy infrastructure across Victoria
  • Choose your focus across company‑initiated or customer‑initiated projects, including renewable and network connection works
  • Lead end‑to‑end delivery with real ownership, working closely with internal experts, contractors and external stakeholders

We have an opportunity for a Project Manager – Transmission to lead the delivery of Transmission projects that strengthen and renew Victoria’s electricity network.

Reporting to the Group Leader, Transmission Delivery, this role is anchored in Malvern while offering genuine flexibility to work from home or other depots, with regular site engagement across Victoria.

What you’ll help deliver

  • End‑to‑end delivery of Transmission projects, which could include managing grid interface connections, replacing or strengthening assets and end of life works
  • Management of a portfolio of concurrent projects (typically 5–7, varying in size and complexity)
  • Strong internal and external stakeholder engagement, including customers, developers, councils and regulators
  • Commercial and financial management including budgets, forecasts, variations and extensions of time

  • Proven Project Management experience in infrastructure or construction environments
  • Experience in transmission, energy, renewables, rail, water or oil & gas (brownfields preferred)
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to influence complex stakeholder groups
