At EnergyAustralia, we believe any decision we make or any project we do should be socially and environmentally acceptable.

Cathedral Rocks is located near the southern tip of South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, approximately 30km southwest of Port Lincoln. Situated on private farming land, the site covers about 29km², with a coastal exposure of nearly 11km. The wind farm consists of 33 wind turbines (2MW each), each having a blade diameter of 80 meters, erected on 60-meter towers. The wind turbines were supplied by Danish manufacturer, Vestas. Development began in July 2004 and the wind farm became fully operational in May 2007.
Cathedral Rocks wind farm is a joint-venture project between EnergyAustralia and Acciona Energy. Both companies have 50% equity in the wind farm and asset management services are provided by Acciona.

First, there’s a short form you need to complete online and upload your resume (so make sure you have it ready to go with up-to-date contact details). You can attach a cover letter if you want. You’ll get an email acknowledging your application has been received.
We’ll review your resume to see how your experience matches the requirements of the role. If you’re unsuccessful at this stage, we’ll let you know by email, but we won’t be able to give you detailed feedback at this stage.
If you’ve applied for a role with our contact centre, you’ll need to complete an online assessment to help see whether this is the right role for you.
If you look like a good fit, we can find out a bit more about each other in a phone interview. We’ll ask about your experience, qualifications and salary expectations.
If you’re successful at the phone interview, there’ll either be a face-to-face interview or a meeting at an engagement centre. You’ll meet your potential new manager and find out more about the role and working with us. Remember to prepare questions about what you want to know. This is your chance to check if we’re the right fit for you too.
Should you progress to the next stage, we’ll ask for referees and do some background checking. If possible, referees should be people to who you reported directly in recent roles.
Once the checks are complete we’ll call you and let you know the outcome. If you’re successful (Yay!) you’ll be able to accept your offer online. We’ll keep you in the loop so you have everything you need by the day you start.

Electricity and gas major EnergyAustralia will spend $1.2 million to close the pay gap between women and men in equivalent jobs, with managing director Cath Tanna saying she is sorry it has not happened sooner. "I'm 56, I've been working for 35 years and I can't believe that in 2018 we are still talking about things like the gender pay gap, so I'm pleased that at EnergyAustralia we have taken this step," Ms. Tanna said while noting there was more to do to get more women in higher-paying roles running power plants.
The move, announced for International Women's Day, will mean larger-than-usual pay increases for about 350 women at the Hong Kong-owned, Melbourne-based company, and also for about 80 min. The one-off gain is about $3500 on average, with no one taking a cut to help level up the current 2 percent imbalance. EnergyAustralia chairman Graham Bradley and managing director Cath Tanna say there is still work to do on gender equality. Jesse MarlowChairman Graham Bradley said it was an easy decision given the "relatively modest" sum required compared to the total wages bill.
We believe there’s more to corporate and social responsibility than a policy. We want to do better for everyone. Not just our customers, but our local communities too. That's why we've partnered with some amazing charities to support the valuable work they do to help create stronger communities, through volunteering, workplace giving, community grants and charity partnerships.
At the heart of it all is a commitment to do the right thing and build a company you want to work for, that you are inspired by and proud to be a part of.
