“I was initially attracted to an industry undergoing significant change, while being responsive to the evolving preferences of society...I really enjoy being able to participate in a variety of different projects and the many opportunities to learn based on my interests. It means that every day is different. It’s also great to work with a diverse group of people who bring their own experiences and individual personality to the team.” Ashlyn Napier |
“ActewAGL is one of the most reputable companies to work for in the ACT. I like that I get to apply the skills I gained from my engineering degree, while working on industry-leading innovation projects that are changing the energy ecosystem.” Lahiru Hapuarachchi |

Diversity and inclusion
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer who embraces and fosters a culture that supports diversity, inclusion and respect, where everyone is empowered to achieve their full potential. We welcome people with diverse skills, experiences, perspectives and backgrounds, and encourage applications from women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people that identify as LGBTIQ+, and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
We offer a range of initiatives to support your employee experience. Our Equity and Diversity Network, known as Thrive, aims to ensure every one of our people feels safe and welcome in the workplace
Many of our people are on a flexible working arrangement so you can be your best at work and at home. ActewAGL is an accredited breastfeeding friendly workplace, and each site has a parent room to support women as they transition back to work from parental leave.
“My flexible working arrangement supports the balance between my home and work life. I have two small children, and when my eldest started primary school last year, it was important to me that I could balance quality time with my family and a rewarding and successful career. And so my flexible working arrangement was born! ActewAGL was supportive of my arrangement from the very beginning. I’ve been blown away by the support I’ve had from all levels – from the CEO, General Manager and my team.”
