The SEC is building an enterprising and dynamic team to accelerate Victoria's transition to renewables and help achieve Victoria's renewable energy target of 95% by 2035. We are working together for renewable, affordable, reliable energy for all Victorians.    
 
Your role  

As an Energy Market Analyst in the Energy Markets Analytics team at the SEC, you will play a key role in delivering analysis, insights, and advice to support decision-making across the organisation's market-facing functions, including wholesale market operations and energy retailing. 
 
You'll apply your deep market knowledge and critical thinking to analyse trends within the Australian energy landscape, providing valuable insights that shape our strategic direction. You will also contribute to the development of robust tools and systems that deliver data-driven insights to support initiatives across the organisation.  
 
This role can be based in either our Melbourne CBD office or our regional office located in Morwell.    
 
What you will do:  

• Modelling and forecasting development - Support the development and continuous improvement of the SEC's market modelling and forecasting capabilities, including short-term probabilistic forecasts, long-term market capacity expansion models and asset dispatch optimisation models.  
• Data collation, management, reporting and visualisation - Work with the team to improve the organisation, interpretation and presentation of market data from various sources, including the AEMO Market Management System, ASX Energy Futures and the SEC's Enterprise Trading and Risk Management system.  
• Project due diligence - Work with relevant internal stakeholders and external advisors to conduct due diligence on prospective investments and inform regular valuations of existing assets & contracts, and contribute to the team's reporting and presentation of analysis and insights.  
• Scenario planning and analysis - Support the team in the development of a range of alternative views of the energy transition pathway, through the collation of expert energy market knowledge and exercising professional judgement. Assist with documenting in-house baseline assumptions and scenarios for presentation for endorsement by internal stakeholders and/or the SEC Board.  

Who you are:  
 
Must Have:  Your capabilities and areas of expertise that matter most for this role are:  

• Tertiary qualifications in Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Economics, Finance, or a related field (Honours/Advanced qualifications desirable).

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret data and models to generate actionable insights.  
• Proficient in data processing and workflow development using Python, R, SQL, or similar programming languages.  
• Skilled in developing analytical and reporting tools using Advanced Excel, PowerBI, and/or Tableau.

Highly Desirable:  

• Experience using Plexos for market modelling and analysis.

Our empowered workforce  
 
A career with us means you'll be joining a new and vibrant 'for purpose' government-owned renewable energy company that:    

• Empowers you to influence how we accelerate Victoria's renewable energy transition and decarbonise our economy.  
• Inspires you through meaningful, challenging work in an environment that encourages leadership and an entrepreneurial spirit.  
• Supports your growth through career advancement and professional development opportunities.  
• Provides hybrid work arrangements, with around 3 days working in Melbourne or Morwell, with flexible work options to meet individual circumstances, providing greater choice and autonomy.  

About us  
 
We have an exciting and ambitious road ahead with a focus on:    

• Investing in renewable energy and storage projects that accelerate the transition and deliver commercial returns.  
• Supporting households to go all electric to reduce their emissions and energy bills.  
• Building the renewable energy workforce our energy transition requires.  

The organisation is partnering with industry to transform the energy sector, opening the state up for further innovation and investments in renewables. This includes an initial $1 billion towards delivering 4.5 gigawatts of power through renewable energy and storage projects - the equivalent replacement capacity of coal-fired power station Loy Yang A, which is set to close in 2035.    
 
The SEC will also play an important role in helping Victorian households to reduce their energy bills and emissions by offering simple and effective solutions to help them switch to electric.    The energy transformation will create thousands of jobs. The SEC will play a role in attracting and training our future renewable energy workforce.
