New Energy – Environment, Approvals & Community
We’re building Western Australia’s energy future — and we’re always keen to connect with people who can help navigate the environment, approvals, land and community work that makes new energy infrastructure possible.
By joining our New Energy – Environment, Approvals & Community Talent Community, you’ll be among the first to hear about upcoming opportunities aligned to your expertise. We don’t match roles based on job titles alone — we look at your skills, potential and what you bring to the table.
You’ll be pre-screened and aligned to curated talent pools, giving you early visibility of roles as they arise — often before they’re advertised. Many opportunities will support Clean Energy Link (CEL) and broader new energy programs across planning, approvals and delivery
