The five year contracts are a significant win for Skilltech and will ensure we remain in the current footprint across metro and regional NSW for the energy sector.

The Essential Energy contract delivers metering and field support services to regional and remote communities in NSW and will support 170 jobs. Skilltech will also partner with Plus ES as part of a high profile contract providing a full range of metering services to Greater Sydney, Newcastle and the Central Coast. The contract will support 140 local jobs.

Daniel Howard, Skilltech's General Manager, said the renewal of its Essential Energy and Plus ES contracts was testimony to our unrivalled capability in the market and the strength of our delivery principles

"As the incumbent provider in both contracts, these contract awards demonstrate the strength of our customer relationships and aligned values.

"Congratulations to our team for the high motivation and energy that you bring to our business every day," said Daniel.

Part of the Downer Utilities portfolio, Skilltech is Australia's largest and most experienced metering services company, with over 1,500 staff visiting more than 50 million properties on an annual basis.
