How do I find out about current vacancies at Horizon Power?

As well as posting current vacancies on our website, we also advertise in major national and local newspapers and on online job boards such as SEEK. Occasionally we will use a recruitment agency to assist us.

How do I apply for a job at Horizon Power?

Horizon Power encourages online applications for advertised roles.

Should I expect to receive a personal contact when I apply for a job at Horizon Power?

We are unable to contact each candidate personally because of the high volume of resumes we receive daily. We will acknowledge receipt of your application by email and advise if any suitable roles exist. If your skills and experience match the requirements for our open positions, a member of our recruitment team will contact you to discuss the next step in the recruitment process. We continually update our current openings, so please visit our website often.

What can I expect if I am invited to attend an interview?

Interviews usually run for approximately 90 minutes and consist of behavioural interviewing questions as well as role-specific questions. We like to keep the discussions with candidates informal to give the process a more relaxed and comfortable feel. Your interview will be conducted by the Formal Leader and up to 2 other people selected for their ability to assist in the decision.

What happens to my resume when I have sent it in to Horizon Power?

A member of our recruitment team will access your resume and application, and you may be contacted to discuss the specific vacancy for which you have applied. Alternatively, you may be considered for other positions your particular skills match, even though you may not have directly applied for those positions. You will be notified via email if your application has been unsuccessful.

Horizon Power maintains a database of interested and suitably qualified/experienced candidates to contact when appropriate roles emerge. If you would prefer us not to keep your details on our database, please let us know when you contact us via email.

What does Horizon Power look for in an applicant?
