Co-funding for an energy graduate’s salary costs, to help your business analyse how energy is being used and find the best ways to make savings.
Employing a newly-trained engineer or science graduate can ensure businesses commit the time and resource needed to analyse how energy is being used and the best ways to make savings.
Co-funding for up to 50% of an energy graduate’s salary costs capped at $70,000 over two years, depending on experience and skills.
The scope of the role or projects needs to be defined, such as:
process and energy flow mapping (energy and mass balances)
computer based energy modelling
investigating plant and process modifications, and conducting trials
investigating fuel switching opportunities
raising energy savings awareness in the business
assisting with project commissioning and verifying energy savings and associated carbon reduction.
Your public organisations or private sector businesses may be eligible if:
you spend more than $1 million a year on energy and have high carbon emissions
the proposed investigations and employment are not business-as-usual
your business has a genuine barrier to undertaking the projects without support
the graduate can be supported and mentored by an energy manager or similar
the site has an energy management plan/strategy in place.
The role or project must deliver energy savings and carbon reduction which represent good value for government funding.
