Title:  Senior Advisor, Community Works Engagement

2 YEAR FIXED TERM CONTRACT

When you choose AusNet, you’ll join genuine people working together, making Real. Progress

At AusNet, we’re the link between renewable energy sources and local communities, playing a key role in the clean energy transition and providing essential energy to every Victorian family.

Help us lead the way, while enriching your career with real people who encourage you to bring your best and make real impact – for your career, our communities, and Australia’s cleaner energy future.

Purposeful work with genuinely good people. That’s refreshing. 

We have an opportunity for a Senior Community Works Engagement Advisor to lead the delivery of high-quality engagement across infrastructure projects in our Distribution network.

This role will support the Northern and South-Eastern Growth Corridors project, working closely with engineers, project managers, delivery partners and the broader business to ensure customer voices are heard, risks are mitigated early and communities have the information they need throughout the project.

With a 3/2 hybrid split, this role is based at Freshwater Place and the Malvern office and sits within the Customer & Community Engagement team (Distribution).

This role will deliver real outcomes, including but not limited to:

• Developing and implementing tailored engagement plans
• Identifying and mitigating community-related risks
• Writing high-quality communications for multiple channels
• Building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders

You don’t need to check every box; however, we are looking for a good combination of:

• demonstrated experience in infrastructure works (big build) and community engagement
• strong written and verbal communication skills
• ability to manage multiple priorities and community-related risks
• confidence to raise issues and collaborate with technical teams
• IAP2 certification (preferred) and tertiary qualifications in communications, marketing or related fields.

A real place to belong 

We celebrate unique voices, refreshing perspectives and diversity in our team. Engage and connect through our social club, family day, wide range of events or by joining one of our Employee Network Groups.  

We believe in more than just competitive pay. Here’s what sets us apart:

• Flexibility: whether this is hybrid work, flexible hours, or part time arrangements, we’ll work with you to help balance work and life.
• Leave: more than typical personal leave and a generous 14 weeks of paid parental leave, with no minimum service.
• Community Giving: a paid day to volunteer with our social impact partner, Foodbank, or for a cause that matters to you.
• Perks: we offer all the other perks you’ve come to expect like purchased leave, income protection insurance, novated leasing, corporate discounts, private health cover discounts and more.

As an industry in transformation, we’re excited by the possibilities ahead.

So, if you’re passionate about our purpose and committed to making real progress, bring your energy and join AusNet. Together, we can shape a new way forward.
