Why us:
Working with us means that you are working with industry leaders, in an industry that is undergoing exciting changes, has career opportunities for you, and most importantly in a business that truly cares for its people and customers.
CitiPower, Powercor and United Energy own and operate the electricity distribution networks servicing 1.9 million customers located across 65% of Victoria. These customers include large numbers of households as well as commercial and industrial businesses, world class arts, health and sporting precincts, popular tourism regions and the biggest infrastructure projects in Victoria.
We provide reliable, safe, and affordable electricity and our businesses are independently rated as the best in the country for their efficiency. Sustaining this is all the more critical and challenging as greater electrification of homes, fleets and industries becomes a core strategy for reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change.

But our greatest priority is the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and the communities we operate within.
