DEI Project Coordinator
Perth
We're leading Western Australians to their intelligent energy future.
And we want you to be part of it.
You might know us as Western Australia's largest electricity generator and energy retailer, supporting 1.2 million customers across the state.
But what you might not know, is that we’re investing in renewable energy projects, including wind farms and big batteries, to help build a more sustainable and reliable future.
Our Big Battery is now live in Kwinana, we’re expanding the Warradarge Wind Farm, the WA EV Network has launched, and we have many other projects in the works.
We're a purpose-driven organisation, owned by the people of WA. Our commitment is to ensure all Western Australians have access to secure, reliable, and sustainable energy.
We believe that the benefits of renewable energy aren’t just for some, they're for everyone.
This is where you come in.
Role Description:
The DEI Coordinator is a new role based in Synergy’s Perth Central Park office, responsible for leading initiatives that advance workforce diversity, equitable opportunities, and an inclusive culture aligned with Synergy’s DEI strategy. The role delivers DEI projects, manages vendors, oversees communications, and supports administration to progress the strategic plan.

Synergy warmly welcomes applicants who draw on lived experience to inform inclusive practice, advocacy, and design.

This may be across multiple domains such as gender equity, reconciliation, disability and LGBTIQA+ inclusion. This role will also be responsible for facilitating the progress of and reporting upon our Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP).
- Identify, influence, and align internal and external stakeholders to achieve DEI objectives.
- Manage SAP finance and procurement processes for DEI initiatives. Support team members with administrative logistics.
- Engage across Synergy to raise understanding and knowledge of marginalised groups.
- Utilise DEI metrics to inform reporting cycles and guide targeted interventions.
