Be the Power Behind the Rules.
Horizon Power are seeking a Compliance Specialist, to join our team. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring our operations meet the regulatory standards that govern the Pilbara electricity network, particularly under the Pilbara Network Access Code (PNAC) and ringfencing obligations.
This role is pivotal in safeguarding Horizon Power’s compliance with its regulatory obligations, especially those designed to manage the risks of operating both regulated network services and unregulated contestable electricity services. You’ll be the go-to expert for ringfencing compliance, helping the business navigate complex regulatory landscapes while balancing operational efficiency and risk mitigation.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Manage compliance with ringfencing rules, legislation, and internal policies.
- Provide timely, well considered responses to complex and nuanced ringfencing queries.
- Guide teams and senior leaders on ringfencing obligations and identify potential compliance risks.
- Translate complex regulatory requirements into practical business advice including updating materials, controls, policies and procedures.
- Manage audits and report findings to regulators.
- Ensure staff undertake training on their ringfencing obligations as required under the ringfencing rules, and that training records are maintained.
- Skilled in summarising complex findings for varied audiences – from frontline staff to executive leadership and regulators.
What You’ll Bring
- You’re a strategic thinker with a robust legal and regulatory background, ideally within the energy sector. You thrive in environments where you can influence, educate, and drive compliance excellence across diverse stakeholder groups.
- Extensive experience in policy auditing and regulatory compliance, preferably in the energy industry.
- Deep understanding of PNAC, Electricity Act, Competition and Consumer Act and governance frameworks.
- Proven ability to interpret and apply legislation.
- Demonstrated capacity to mitigate risk through the development and monitoring of compliance frameworks, and to identify and resolve compliance issues involving senior members of staff.
- Legal or regulatory advisory background.
