We bring the energy – 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. 

As the Operations and Maintenance Delivery Lead, you will oversee the delivery of the Transmission Operations and Maintenance Agreement (TOMSA), ensuring a safe, reliable transmission network. You will also lead the resolution of escalated issues with our delivery partner.

The role is based in Southbank, Melbourne, with hybrid working arrangements available.

• Drive continuous improvement through KPI reviews, expenditure tracking, and operational analysis
• Prepare materials for monthly operational meetings with the service delivery partner
• Support innovation and adaptability across the digital landscape to help grow our network and enable the energy transition

You don’t need to check every box; however, we are looking for a good combination of:

• Degree or professional qualification in Engineering, Science, or a related field
• Extensive experience in a technical or operations role, including developing and implementing maintenance strategies and plans
• Experience with SAP ERP and data analytics and reporting tools and techniques
