Asset Inspector

At CitiPower and Powercor, we’re proud to deliver electricity to 1.3 million Victorian customers every day through our network of poles and wires. But more than that, we’re here to power communities, support local businesses and keep critical services running smoothly; we’re essential to them all – and none of this happens without our people. As Victorians electrify everything from homes to transport, we’re focused on ensuring our networks are ready to meet that demand. If you want to be part of something essential, be essential with us.

About the role

The Asset Inspector undertakes the inspection and assessment of power poles and associated overhead and underground assets across the CitiPower and Powercor network.

Inspections of infrastructure and assets must be carried out with a high degree of accuracy, as the Asset Inspector is responsible for identifying and categorising faults, defects, asset condition and details, which form a major contribution to the organisation’s work program and asset management system.

We are looking for someone with high attention to detail, who is comfortable delivering results independently. The role requires the incumbent to predominantly travel within Melbourne suburbs, and Regional Victoria (when necessary), as part of the Burnley depot crew.
