About Alinta Energy 

At Alinta Energy, we’re taking real action to deliver affordable, reliable and sustainable energy for Australia. You’ll work on challenges that matter, alongside people who are approachable, supportive and invested in your growth, in a business where your contribution is visible from day one.

Big careers start with real experience 

Ready to step into a role where you’re working with real data, real stakeholders and real sustainability challenges? Kick-start your career in sustainability reporting in an industry that’s evolving fast and plays a critical role in the transition to a lower-carbon future.

As a Sustainability Analyst Graduate, you’ll join our Corporate Affairs, Governance and Sustainability team in a permanent role from day one, gaining hands-on experience in a large and complex energy business. Rather than sitting in a purely academic or theoretical space, you’ll see how sustainability is applied in practice and how it connects across the organisation.

This is a reporting-led role at the intersection of multiple functions including strategy, risk, data and operations. While you won’t sit directly in those teams, you’ll work closely with them to gather, interpret and validate data that shapes how the business reports and communicates its sustainability performance. Over two years, you’ll build a strong foundation in sustainability reporting, ESG frameworks and data analysis, while developing stakeholder engagement and communication capability.

You’ll start your graduate journey in Melbourne, spending your first week meeting your cohort, pulling on some hi-vis to explore our Melbourne sites, and listening in on real customer calls at our contact centre.

Why you’ll love this opportunity 

• Work on real sustainability reporting from day one
• Gain exposure across multiple business functions and stakeholders
• Structured two-year graduate program with tailored rotations
• Hands-on experience with ESG frameworks (for example NGER and AASB S2) and reporting cycles
• Learn in a team that balances commercial and sustainability outcomes

What you’ll learn and do 

• Support sustainability reporting and ESG data collection
• Work with real datasets to analyse and validate business inputs
• Contribute to research on frameworks, trends and best practice
• Engage stakeholders across the business to gather insights
• Help prepare reports, presentations and communication materials

What could make you a great fit

You are completing, or have recently completed, a degree in:

• Sustainability

• Business
• Or a related discipline

You’ll thrive if you:

• Are comfortable working with data and Excel
• Show curiosity about sustainability and climate reporting
• Can work through ambiguity and messy, real-world data
• Communicate clearly and engage well with stakeholders
• Are organised, reliable and keen to learn in a fast-paced environment
