We all want a future of energy we can be proud of. With us, you can.

As a Senior Asset Performance Officer, you will play a critical role in shaping the performance, reliability and future readiness of AusNet's distribution network.

• Utilise data, analytics and forecasting to monitor trends, predict future asset performance and inform strategic decision-making
• Ensure ongoing compliance with relevant legislation, standards, codes and internal policies
• Champion innovation and digital advancements that enhance network performance and support the energy transition

• Advanced analytical capability to assess asset performance
• Demonstrated experience in asset management within an asset-intensive organisation
• Experience in the utilities or energy sector (preferred)
• Strong strategic thinking and understanding of asset management principles
• Commercial acumen, with the ability to evaluate options, develop recommendations and prioritise investment decisions
