2024 Graduate Program - Information Technology

What do a Lawyer, Town Planner and Electrical Engineer have in common? They are highly valued IT graduates in our team!
Not everyone takes a ‘traditional’ path into IT. We hire great people who enrich the culture of our team through their varied skillsets and perspectives.

What we do:

The electricity industry is going through significant transformation and our businesses are at the centre of it.  Supporting a clean energy future, our electricity networks provide a gateway to renewable technologies such as solar, batteries and EVs for 1.9 million Victorian customers.

Managing and operating our networks effectively is dependent on technology.  We keep our networks safe and secure through best practice IT security measures and work proactively to ensure our networks are fit for additional capacity and growth.  We do this using data analytics, machine learning and knowledge built through years of practical expertise, while promoting a culture of continuous learning.

Join us in building a network of connections that last a lifetime, where your skills and unique perspective contribute to a sustainable and innovative future.

What’s our Graduate Program about?

Our graduate program will connect you to industry leaders and expose you to innovative projects and transformative industry change.

You will undertake rotations within your core discipline, along with developing wider business knowledge, to give you maximum exposure and a truly immersive experience. 

At the end of the program, you’ll have an opportunity to pursue a permanent role that best matches your skills and interests with business opportunities.

You will experience a variety of roles across our businesses.  Opportunities may include project delivery, application management, dev-ops, analytics and commercial/governance streams and potentially some non-IT streams such as technical engineering.  You will experience a range of technologies and tools including Python (data analytics). SQL (database), Windows PowerShell (scripting) WireShark and Splunk (security).

During your six-monthly rotations up to three years, you could be part of:

· Building new mobile, digital and automated services improving the speed of access to services for our customers

· Contributing to the development of the technical backbone to our infrastructure enabling, managing, and monitoring the two-way flow of power

· Assisting to strengthen IT security, protecting Victoria’s critical infrastructure from external threats

We offer a specifically designed graduate learning journey. You will take part in professional development activities offered both in-house and by external training partners.  Working on meaningful projects as a fully contributing team member, you will put theory into practice.  Your mentor will be with you every step of the way offering support and advice.

At the end of the Program, you’ll join a team with a role that best matches your interests and skills to continue your contribution to our business while fulfilling your career goals.
