Alinta Energy is one of Australia’s biggest energy retailers, generators and developers with over 1.1 million customers. Australia’s energy system is undergoing the biggest transformation in its history and we’re right there with it. We’re investing in and developing large-scale renewables and storage projects as part of our ongoing effort to provide our customers with reliable, affordable and sustainable energy.

We understand that flexibility matters when considering your next role. Let us know your requirements, and we’ll carefully consider how we might accommodate them.

You’ll get clear direction, genuine flexibility, and the support you need to grow, all while working on projects that make a lasting difference. We’re big enough to create impact, but small enough that your ideas and effort will always be seen.

There are plenty of other great benefits of working for Alinta Energy, including flexible working, energy discounts, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a paid volunteer day each year, fully stocked kitchens, and lots more.

What you’ll do

  • Identifying and securing new Commercial & Industrial business opportunities
  • Managing end-to-end sales activities from prospecting to contract execution
  • Building and maintaining a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities
  • Developing and managing key customer accounts to drive retention and growth
  • Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to deliver commercial outcomes.

  • Strong understanding of energy retail products, pricing and contracts
  • Experience using CRM or advanced sales pipeline tools
  • High-level commercial acumen with strong negotiation skills
