Alinta Energy is one of Australia’s biggest energy retailers, generators and developers with over 1.1 million customers. Australia’s energy system is undergoing the biggest transformation in its history and we’re right there with it. We’re investing in and developing large-scale renewables and storage projects as part of our ongoing effort to provide our customers with reliable, affordable and sustainable energy.

We understand that flexibility matters when considering your next role. Let us know your requirements, and we’ll carefully consider how we might accommodate them.

Ready to make a real impact?

Join our Technology team and help turn complex data into meaningful business outcomes. Working across customer, marketing, pricing and commercial functions, you'll develop predictive models, uncover insights and influence strategic decisions that improve customer value and business performance.

Why you’ll love working here

At Alinta Energy, we’re taking real action to deliver reliable and sustainable energy for Australia — and that practical approach runs through everything we do. You’ll get clear direction, genuine flexibility, and the support you need to grow, all while working on projects that make a lasting difference. We’re big enough to create impact, but small enough that your ideas and effort will always be seen.

There are plenty of other great benefits of working for Alinta Energy, including flexible working, energy discounts, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a paid volunteer day each year, fully stocked kitchens, and lots more.

What you’ll do

• Developing predictive models that support customer, marketing and commercial strategies
• Interpreting complex datasets to identify opportunities and drive business outcomes
• Partnering with stakeholders to understand challenges and translate them into analytical solutions
• Presenting insights, recommendations and modelling outcomes to technical and non-technical audiences
• Influencing decision-making through evidence-based analysis and strategic thinking.

Your experience

• Tertiary qualifications in statistics, mathematics, computer science, data science or a related discipline
• Demonstrated experience building and deploying predictive or statistical models in a commercial environment
• Strong capability in SQL, Python or R, with experience working across large and complex datasets
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence outcomes
• Experience translating data into actionable business insights and managing competing priorities

Please note this role requires full working rights within Australia.

This role is well suited to a commercially minded Data Scientist who enjoys balancing technical analysis with stakeholder engagement. You'll thrive if you're curious, collaborative and motivated by using data to solve real business problems. The role centres on understanding the business, influencing strategy and delivering commercially valuable modelling outcomes rather than purely technical model development.
