Job description

Through purpose and people - not just through the infrastructure we operate, but through the way we show up for each other, our customers’ and our communities. The future of energy is in our hands. Let’s shape it together.

Are you ready to shape the future of energy?

Your contributions as a recognised specialist will help shape Australia’s energy future, delivering impactful solutions in an evolving energy landscape.

We’re entering an exciting phase of growth, and we’re looking for a Senior Technical Business Analyst to help us lead the way.

As a Senior Technical Business Analyst, you will play a critical role in bridging business strategy, regulatory obligations and technology solutions to support AusNet’s OT Communications strategy, investment prioritisation and long‑term planning.

What you’ll be doing in this role:

• Requirements gathering and analysis across telecommunication engineering.
• Support the development and ongoing maintenance of the OT Communications masterplan and delivery roadmap.
• Translate engineering specifications into business, operational and regulatory objectives with clear priorities, requirements and recommendations.
• Partner with OT Communications, Digital, Engineering and business stakeholders to shape investment decisions and delivery outcomes.
• Prepare high-quality artefacts including business cases, options analysis, requirements documentation, benefits maps and leadership reporting.

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

• Degree qualification in Engineering, Technology, Business or similar
• Minimum 7+ years’ experience in a senior and/or technical Business Analyst role
• Experience in a senior and/or technical Business Analyst role, ideally in complex or technology‑enabled environments.
• Able to translate complex engineering requirements into non-engineering requirement, priorities and recommendations
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Capability in structured analysis, requirements definition, process improvement and strategic problem‑solving.
• Exposure to utilities, operational technology, regulatory environments or capital planning processes will be highly regarded.

The AusNet experience is all about…

• Growing your impact: We’ll support you to build your career through real opportunities and strong connections.
• Solving some of the most complex energy challenges of our time: We love unpacking complex challenges in clever ways and looking at things differently.
• Building an energy future to be proud of: We’re a trusted leader, with deep expertise, driven to do what’s right for our communities and customers.

We’re committed to building an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce. We believe different perspectives are essential to our success, and we encourage all applicants to apply. If you need any adjustments during the recruitment process, we're happy to discuss how we can support you.
