Job description

We're leading Western Australians to their intelligent energy future.

And we want you to be part of it.

You might know us as Western Australia's largest electricity generator and energy retailer, supporting 1.2 million customers across the state.

But what you might not know, is that we’re investing in renewable energy projects, including wind farms and big batteries, to help build a more sustainable and reliable future.

Our Big Battery is now live in Kwinana, we’re expanding the Warradarge Wind Farm, the WA EV Network has launched, and we have many other projects in the works.

We're a purpose-driven organisation, owned by the people of WA. Our commitment is to ensure all Western Australians have access to secure, reliable, and sustainable energy.

We believe that the benefits of renewable energy aren’t just for some, they're for everyone.

This is where you come in.

Role Description:

Distributed Energy Resources (DER) owned by Synergy’s customers are an increasingly critical part of the energy system. DER can increasingly participate in the system and generate additional value for customers, and our technology solutions and products are supporting this.

The DER Enablement Coordinator is a 12 month fixed term opportunity in our Technical and Business Services Team based at our Central Park offices in Perth.

The main purpose of this role is to manage and coordinate the onboarding of DER technology providers (TPs), including inverter manufacturers, into Synergy’s DER ecosystem, ensuring compliance, smooth integration, and alignment with operational and strategic objectives.

Job responsibilities:

• Oversee the end-to-end onboarding journey, including initial engagement, documentation, compliance checks, and activation into production environments.
• Support testing and certification activities by coordinating schedules and ensuring documentation readiness.
• Update and manage records of certified TPs and maintain communication with regulatory bodies as required.
• Draft technical documents to capture all internal process in a structured format and seek cross business approvals.
• Provide proactive communication on onboarding status, testing outcomes, and operational readiness.

What you will bring:

• Tertiary qualification in a related discipline and proficiency in collaboration tools (Teams, SharePoint) and workflow platforms
• Very strong organisation skills and attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive approach and willingness to jump into complex tasks and find solutions
• Familiarity with DER technologies, compliance frameworks, and certification processes.
• Tertiary qualification in a related discipline
