Western Power is a WA Government owned corporation that builds, maintains and operates the electricity network in the south west corner of Western Australia.
Our vast transmission and distribution network connects Western Australians to a wide range of both traditional and renewable energy sources to power a vibrant modern lifestyle
Although we have been delivering energy safely, reliably and efficiently or more than 70 years, our focus is always firmly on the future. We are at the forefront of the energy transition in leveraging existing and new technologies, including microgrid, stand-alone power systems (SPS), battery storage solutions and incorporating increased levels of renewable energy such as roof top solar into the energy system. We’re transforming the electricity network ensuring a cleaner, brighter and more resilient energy supply for the next generation.
As a Western Power engineering graduate, you will acquire a broad understanding of Western Power’s operations through rotational exposure across our business. As part of our three-year program (6 x 6 monthly rotations, with the option to apply for a permanent role after your fourth rotation), you will develop and apply Engineering knowledge and skills in an operational capacity. Throughout your rotations you will also attain relevant competencies that will contribute towards registration as a professional engineer.

We’ll help you to develop your career through continuous learning and you will have access to training plus opportunities for coaching and mentoring. You will work on numerous project which may involve travel to our depots around the south west of WA.
