About Us

Globally, energy markets are in transition to a net zero future and the entities within these markets are transforming their underlying business models to ensure that they stay relevant, sustainable and profitable. As one of Australia’s largest energy providers, we are proud of our purpose to lead and accelerate the clean energy transformation for all. 

EnergyAustralia recognises the critical role that our Legal & Governance function will play in shaping the future of our business through this exciting period of transition and, as a result, we are looking to bolster the team with the addition of multiple new roles.  These positions provide an opportunity to join a high performing, inclusive, collaborative and highly regarded Legal & Governance team.
