Essential stories: Jason from the Victorian Energy Upgrades team

I'm a Project Officer at the Victorian Energy Upgrades division at the commission. 

I'm a little older than some of my colleagues and experienced enough to know what works for me. I don't dream about being promoted. I just appreciate doing a good job and sharing my knowledge with colleagues who are all passionate about helping everyday Victorians. It's a real joy to be working in a team that helps Victorians reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint.

I love my job because it's flexible enough for me to pursue my passions outside of work. Going to Melbourne Storm games with my daughters is something I absolutely treasure. I enjoy getting lost in thought about the origins of the universe. I restore mid-century furniture and I write. I've actually published a book with John Birmingham. He wrote He Died with a Felafel in His Hand and I'm currently working on my next book!
