From automating and simplifying core operations including billing to create a lower-cost, higher-engagement experience, to optimising energy usage across smart devices in the home, we turn tough challenges into win-win-win outcomes for customers, suppliers and the energy system.

We want the best people


We're keen to meet people from all walks of life — our view is that the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.

We understand some people may not apply for jobs unless they tick every box.

But if you're excited about joining us and think you have some of what we're looking for, even if you're not 100% sure, we'd still love to hear from you.
