The Energy Law team is seeking a Legal Officer to join us and work at the heart of the NSW energy transition on an ongoing basis. This is an exciting moment to join the Department’s expanding energy practice as NSW undergoes one of the most significant energy transformations in its history.

About the team

The newly formed Energy Team sits at the forefront of providing legal advice on the State’s clean energy transition. NSW is rapidly shifting towards a low‑emissions energy system, and our legal team plays a critical role in advising on the legal frameworks that will shape our future energy systems. The team’s remit spans some of the most dynamic and high‑profile areas of government: the delivery of the NSW Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap, energy emergencies, gas and pipeline regulation, consumer energy protections, and emerging climate and decarbonisation initiatives. The pace and complexity of the energy transition mean the legal issues we face are evolving, novel and strategically significant.

About the role

As a Legal Officer, you will have the opportunity to work on significant and high-profile legal work across several of DCCEEW’s strategic priorities.

The Energy Team places a strong emphasis on capability development and continuous learning. The team benefits from structured internal training, knowledge sharing from external providers, and access to a specialised learning academy designed to build deep expertise in the energy transition. Joining the team now provides the opportunity not only to contribute to important legal outcomes, but also to enhance your own professional development in a supportive, high‑performing environment.

This is a rare chance to join a team at its inception, contribute to its culture, and help shape legal outcomes that will have lasting impact across NSW.

About you

To be successful in this role you will be highly motivated legal professional with a commitment to delivering quality legal advice and services to clients. You will have strong research skills and a keen eye for detail with the ability to identify key issues and think critically to find strategically focused and evidence-based solutions. Working within a dynamic, fast-paced environment, you will have high-level time management skills, including the ability to effectively prioritise and manage competing tasks to meet deadlines.

You confidently engage with key stakeholders and team members to build and maintain collaborative relationships and can utilise your excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to communicate complex ideas and persuasive legal advice and support to varied audiences in a range of styles.

Essential Requirements

Admitted or qualified for admission as a Solicitor or Barrister in the Supreme Court of NSW and hold, or be eligible to hold, an unrestricted NSW Practicing Certificate.
