Summer Vacation Program

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

We love solving complex problems at Powerlink, so our Vacation Program gives you the opportunity to do just that. Our 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.

Over 13-weeks, you'll learn about our industry and business, and get stuck into interesting, cutting-edge projects that aren't being delivered anywhere else in Queensland, while enjoying all the benefits of a Powerlink career.

Through every solution found and lesson learned, you'll gain new skills and knowledge that will set you apart from your peers. That means powerful opportunities for your career.

Advertising commences August for a November commencement.

Work-integrated learning and professional practice

As part of your university studies, you may be required to complete mandated work integrated learning or professional practice hours to graduate from your degree.

Powerlink regularly host students for these opportunities outside of our summer vacation program.

Honours year and research

Powerlink works with most major universities in Brisbane to submit thesis topics to their industry placement teams each semester.

These topics are a combination of those formulated by our in-house research working group, and topics that arise throughout the year where we value the input of students to help us tackle challenges and problem-solve.
