We’re making a difference through innovation and new ways of working. Together we’re shaping/creating a cleaner, greener future for our 11 million customers who we put at the heart of everything we do.
The Opportunity
The Engineering hydrogen transition team is looking for an enthusiastic, driven and open minded colleague willing to go the extra mile and continuously drive innovative thinking.
In summary, this role involves being the engineering and technical focal point for hydrogen gas transportation assets.

You will be playing a pivotal role in safely, effectively and efficiently repurposing of the existing high pressure LTS (Local Transmission System) network, which directly connects to the high pressure NTS (National Transmission System) through off takes. This is your opportunity to firmly put the LTS on the roadmap of the hydrogen transition through demonstrating the capability to safely and agilely repurpose the existing natural gas assets to either natural gas / hydrogen blends or hydrogen.
This role will include working with internal and external stakeholders, taking a lead on development of the company’s internal standards for the transportation and distribution of hydrogen gas, interpreting and adopting outcomes from trials and research nationally and internationally.
