Every possibility starts with you
There are so many reasons to enjoy working at Powerlink. With such a wide variety of inclusive benefits on offer, there's sure to be something for you.
Your flexibility
At Powerlink, we are committed to empowering our employees to work in ways that allow them to perform at their best. As we work towards connecting Queenslanders to a world-class energy future, every employee has an opportunity to enjoy a work-life balance and enhance their overall wellbeing and performance.
Flexibility can mean different things to each of us, and we recognise there’s no one-size-fits-all approach given the variety of roles, work requirements, and business needs.
Ask us about how we can offer flexible start and finish times, compressed work hours, term-time working, part-time work, time-off-in-lieu or job-sharing – dependent on your role.
Your impact
We want our people to feel connected to each other and the great work we do in delivering Queensland’s clean energy future.
Through our Pitch In program, Powerlink employees are able to take a day of volunteer leave each year to support a charity that’s meaningful to them.
Powerlink also delivers local community and environmental partnership programs to provide positive environmental outcomes, long-term community improvements and generate lasting mutually beneficial relationships.
We support a number of community engagement activities where our people are invited to participate. This includes activities like tree planting initiatives, environmental support projects, council greening partnerships and also volunteering with community organisations in providing services and support.
