Graduate Opportunities

The Australian energy industry is currently in exciting times, and AEMO plays a unique role in Australia’s energy sector. We offer our people unrivalled opportunities to learn, develop and advance within our wide spectrum of electricity and gas market and operational functions.

Launched in 2009, AEMO manages the National Electricity Market (NEM) and the retail and wholesale gas markets of southern and eastern Australia. We ensure our energy markets operate effectively to balance issues of price, quality, safety, reliability and the security of energy supply.

In the coming years the energy sector will have to meet substantial challenges as it seeks to transition to a carbon-constrained future.
