- VEU compliance
- Own and continuously improve the VEU compliance framework, including eligibility assessments, activity definitions and evidence requirements
- Design internal controls for installation records, measurement and verification, and documentation, and test them regularly
- Work with installers, accredited persons and clients to collect and validate evidence before claims are submitted
- Prepare and submit VEU activity claims and respond to Essential Services Commission (ESC) requests and audits
- Maintain the compliance risk register, issue logs and action trackers, with clear owners and due dates
- Lead the breach and non-conformance process: assessment, escalation,



regulator notification and remediation through to closure
- Present compliance findings and residual risk clearly to leadership
- Track regulatory changes and update internal processes, templates and training accordingly

- Working knowledge of Victorian Energy Upgrades and the Essential Services Commission framework; experience with other Australian energy efficiency schemes (e.g. NSW ESS) is highly desirable
- Experience preparing regulator-facing compliance reporting or working through external audits is well regarded
- Audit, risk or compliance certification is an advantage
- Skills and attributes
- Strong knowledge of thermodynamics, psychrometrics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer
- Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit MEP and load/energy tools (e.g. IES, TRACE, HAP, EnergyPlus)
- Ability to design controls and evidence-based reviews, not just complete them
