Intern and vacation programs

Your future starts here

Spend your summer building something that lasts - for your future and Queensland’s. 

Our summer vacation program provides an opportunity to learn about our industry and business, and gain ‘real life’ work experience across a range of work areas. As an undergraduate, you will have the chance to work on projects that help deliver electricity to more than five million Queenslanders.

Make an impact while you learn

Over 12-weeks, you'll learn about our industry and business, and get stuck into interesting, cutting-edge projects. You’ll work alongside experienced professionals on meaningful projects that make a difference to communities across the state. 

From engineering and technology to environmental science, data analytics, finance and business services, you are given genuine responsibility, supported learning opportunities and the chance to build lasting industry connections. 

It’s an opportunity to apply your studies in a practical environment, explore future career pathways and discover what’s possible with a career at Powerlink.

Our undergraduates also benefit from time with our early careers recruitment team, offering insights into Powerlink’s award-winning Graduate Program.
