Step 1 > Create your supplier profile

Click here to create your supplier profile, username and password and get started.

If your business is already registered in Avetta, go to Step 2.

Step 2 > Connect to Transgrid

In the ‘Find Connections’ search field, type Transgrid.

Add the relevant Transgrid site(s) and select Next in the upper right-hand corner.

Step 3 > Service Evaluation

Enter your ABN (if applicable) and complete a quick service evaluation to identify the services your organisation provides.

Select Next in the upper right-hand corner once complete.

Step 4 > Checkout

The cost to join the program is based on the level of compliance required for your business and the type of services your company offers.

Enter your payment details and confirm your payment.

Please note that adding additional clients in the Avetta system may increase your annual membership cost. Any increase will be generated and charged via future invoices.

Step 5 > Transgrid Prequalification

Select the Network button in the left-hand menu and get started on the prequalification requirements for Transgrid.

These may include, but not be limited to:

• • Company information and locations
  • Safety information
  • Insurances
  • Licences

Insurances and licenses will be verified by the Avetta team, who will reach out should any corrections be required.

Step 6 > Manual Audit / SMS Review (if required)

Depending on the work your organisation performs (as identified in Step 3), you may be required to complete a SMS review (Manual Audit), which is an independent desktop audit of your Work Health and Safety documents by a qualified WHS professional. The documents you’ll be asked to provide may include, but are not limited to:

• • WHS Policy
  • Safety Management System
  • Safe Work Method Statements/JSA/Safe Work Procedures
  • Risk Register
  • Training Matrices/Training Needs Analysis

Once complete, select Submit in the top-right corner.

Your manual audit assessment questions and submitted documents will be audited within ten business days of submission. If corrective actions are required for you to meet compliance, you’ll receive an email from our auditors.

You must complete all prequalification requirements for Transgrid before your company will be considered compliant.

To reach full compliance to work for Transgrid, you must next register your workers.

Step 1 > Login and add workers

From the Connect system, select the Workers tile in the left-hand menu, then select Pegasus Workforce.

If you don’t immediately see the Transgrid tile, click on the Add or Remove Portals and select the Transgrid tile.

Select Manage Roles and then Add New Employee. From here you can enter and save their personal contact details, address, phone and email.

If a worker is already a registered cardholder, you may proceed to Step 3 to select their site and role for this project.

Step 2 > Pay for worker registration and contractor card

Pay for your worker’s registration and order their contractor cards to work for Transgrid.

• • Year 1 costs $90 + GST per worker for the management of roles, verification of documents, inductions and supply of card.
  • Year 2 costs $45 + GST per worker.

A tax invoice will be supplied on payment. If your workers hold current registrations in the Transgrid WSAT system, there is no additional cost to add their roles on this site.

Step 3 > Select site and roles

Select Manage Roles > Add Site and select EnergyConnect Project. Workers must hold at least one role that begins with PEC (eg PEC – Authorised Driver) and where applicable, Power System Safety Rules and Environmental Authorisation roles.

Note: the minimum PSSR role to work in a Transgrid substation is PSSR 3.3 – Work in a Substation or Switchyard and when working on a Transgrid easement it is Transmission – PSSR 6.1 – General Work together with E1 – Access and Inspection.

If you are unsure what roles you need to apply for each worker, please contact your SEJV representative via training@secureenergyjv.com.au.

Step 4 > Upload documents 

Your role selections will determine the competency documents (licences, cards and qualifications) which you will need to upload in the system to prove your worker can perform the chosen role/s. Avetta will validate the documents you have uploaded during the registration of your workers.

Contractor cards

Upon document approval and induction completion, the roles will be applied to your worker’s profile and contractor cards issued. The contractor card will be sent to the worker’s nominated address, and this could be your business’s address. Please ensure that all workers receive their card prior to commencing work at site.

It’s important that you keep worker’s details up to date, and you’ll be emailed about expiring documents and information to stay compliant. Workers can also update their own details using the Workforce Mobile Application, which allows them to manage their own profile. Visit the Workforce by Avetta Mobile App page for more information.

Register your worker in the WSAT system (follow instructions in Stage 2: Register Your Workers)

Select Manage Roles > Add Site and select the EnergyConnect Project. Workers must hold at least one role that begins with PEC (eg PEC – Authorised Driver) and where applicable, Power Systems Safety Rules and Environmental Authorisation roles.
