Projektmedarbejder

At Transgrid, we play a crucial role in delivering safe, reliable, and sustainable energy to millions of Australians. Operating over 13,000 km of high-voltage transmission lines and 128 substations across NSW and the ACT, we connect electricity generators to the distribution network powering homes, businesses, and communities. As Australia accelerates its energy transition, the work we do has never been more significant.

The Opportunity

As Project Officer, you will support the delivery of our capital works program by coordinating project closeout, asset handover, defect management and reporting activities across the group. Reporting to the Portfolio Services Manager, you'll work with project teams and internal stakeholders to track closeout progress, monitor handover readiness, support asset acceptance and capitalisation, and ensure project information is accurate, complete and aligned with governance requirements.

You will also maintain key project documentation, systems, registers and records to support effective project closeout and lifecycle governance, acting as a point of contact for closeout, handover and warranty-related enquiries, and contributing to continuous improvement across the group.

A Day in the Life
