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.

Ready to make a real impact?

Join our Corporate Affairs, Governance and Sustainability team as the Grants & Donations Coordinator, supporting project-linked and corporate community funding initiatives. You’ll coordinate the administration and delivery of grants, sponsorships and donations, manage reporting and financial tracking, and work closely with project development teams, operational sites, not-for-profits and partners. This role helps ensure commitments are fulfilled efficiently, compliantly and in line with governance requirements, while supporting positive community outcomes and social value reporting.

Why you’ll love working here

At Alinta Energy, we’re taking real action to deliver reliable and sustainable energy for Australia - and that practical approach runs through everything we do. 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

  • Administer project-related and operational sponsorships, grants and donations across development, construction and operational phases
  • Coordinate benefit sharing activities, including grant rounds, funding approvals, payments and acquittals
  • Maintain accurate registers to track obligations, approvals, milestones and delivery commitments
  • Work with project teams and operational sites to identify upcoming funding commitments, administrative and reporting requirements
  • Prepare reporting inputs and acquittals for internal stakeholders, governance committees and community investment outcomes

Your experience

  • Experience in a similar sponsorships, donations or grants coordinator role
  • Experience managing approvals, payments, registers and financial tracking
  • Strong organisational skills and confidence working across multiple stakeholders and deadlines
  • Strong systems skills, including SharePoint or similar platforms
  • Awareness of social value reporting, ideally within infrastructure, energy or major project environments

Please note this role requires full working rights within Australia.

This role is best suited to a highly organised coordinator who enjoys keeping commitments on track, building trusted relationships and supporting community investment outcomes through strong administration, governance and reporting.
