You won’t be observing from the sidelines — you’ll be solving real problems that contribute to our clean energy future, supported by experienced professionals who want to see you succeed. From integrating renewables and digital systems to managing assets across their entire lifecycle, your contributions will directly support South Australia’s clean energy transition.
