About us:

CitiPower, Powercor and United Energy own and operate the electricity distribution networks servicing 1.9 million customers located across 65% of Victoria.

These customers include large numbers of households as well as commercial and industrial businesses, world class arts, health and sporting precincts, popular tourism regions and the biggest infrastructure projects in Victoria.

We provide reliable, safe, and affordable electricity and our businesses are independently rated as the best in the country for their efficiency.

Sustaining this is all the more critical and challenging as greater electrification of homes, fleets and industries becomes a core strategy for reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change.

We value inclusive leadership and teams and celebrate the results of succeeding together.

This includes their physical safety - ensuring everyone gets home safely everyday - as well as their psychological safety by ensuring everyone has the resources and support needed to achieve a work-life balance and be the best they can be.

To succeed in the role you'll have:

An understanding of regulatory environments, including the obligations that govern a regulated business's behaviour and operations
Previous experience in a compliance or audit role within a regulated business, or experience working for government departments or regulators is desirable
A tertiary qualification in either business, economics, law or engineering
Good attention to detail and familiarity with legal interpretation
Demonstrated understanding of the compliance reporting requirements of an economic regulator, such as the AER and ESC, would be highly advantageous
