We work to attract and build the renewable energy workforce our energy transition requires.
As a government-owned renewable energy company, SEC is investing in renewable generation, storage and other projects that create hundreds of rewarding jobs and training opportunities.
In line with our public purpose remit, we work to enable Victorians to benefit from the jobs and opportunities the energy transition brings.
Our investments in renewable energy projects are creating hundreds of local jobs and training opportunities, including direct and indirect
employment.
This includes apprenticeships, traineeships and graduate programs, as well as a wide range of trades, specialist and generalist roles. From electricians, construction, engineering, project managers and machine operators, through to community liaison, operations and administration – as our projects scale up, so will the jobs.
Our comprehensive student education program includes practical examples of jobs and career pathways in renewable energy. We host site visits to our projects so students can experience firsthand the renewable energy industry and the jobs it creates, and we deliver hands-on workshops in schools to inspire students in science and technology. We also speak with thousands of students at careers events, raising awareness and interest in renewable energy jobs.
SEC’s education program engages students in the energy transition and showcases the breadth of study and career opportunities it brings. Find out more about our free school activities.
Ever wondered what it takes to build and run one of the world’s biggest batteries in Victoria? Co-owned by SEC and Equis Australia, the Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub powers up to 200,000 homes and has created more than 1,200 jobs. This includes more than 70 apprentices, highlighting the incredible range of skills and roles involved in a large-scale renewable project.
We role-model diversity, inclusion and flexible work practices. Our focus is on bringing more women into historically male-dominated roles and setting up programs for under-represented groups.
We’re working with First Peoples to create programs and opportunities that support self-determination.
