Bring your passion for electrifying New Zealand and expertise as a trusted advisor to a highly respected legal team enabling New Zealand's energy future

At the centre of the electricity sector in New Zealand, Transpower plays a key role in enabling the functioning of New Zealand's economy and touches all facets of the community through 24/7 transmission of electricity. We are working hard to enable accelerated electrification to help meet climate change and sustainability goals that will impact generations to come.

About the team

Our Legal team supports and enables Transpower's strategic priorities through oversight, delivery, and management of legal advice across all Transpower's grid ownership and operation activities.

About the opportunity

In this role we are looking for someone to work with a strategic lens to help enable New Zealand's energy future. Gaining a deep understanding of our interested stakeholders, such as incumbent and emerging electricity generators, local electricity distribution networks, our regulators, our service partners, and equipment suppliers, you'll provide advice to the business on a wide range of commercial and regulatory matters and relationships.

As part of our team of experienced and supportive Corporate Counsels, and alongside our Executive Leadership Team, you'll work to support Transpower's understanding and planning for the impacts of a rapidly growing and changing electricity industry.
