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. Our ability to deliver on this Purpose will be dependent on our people.

At EnergyAustralia, we believe that strong, respectful relationships with local communities are essential to the success of our projects. Our Community Engagement team plays a vital role in building and maintaining trust by ensuring our engagement practices reflect our values and commitment to best practice. As we progress the proposed Marulan Gas Fired Power Station, just outside of Goulburn we’re looking for a passionate and experienced engagement professional to help us foster meaningful connections with the community and stakeholders.
