Our DCCEEW Energy Division is currently seeking to appoint an Assessment Officer to deliver the accreditation program for Accredited Service Providers (ASPs) in the electricity distribution networks across NSW.
The ASP Scheme accredits organisations to perform contestable work on the NSW electricity distribution network.

The role also supports the reform of current systems to deliver more contemporary service delivery of the accreditation process for ASPs.
