We want you to explore, pilot and deploy solutions and alternative approaches to ensure we are prepared for the future changing energy environment so we can enable a transition to a low carbon future that has a strong focus on our network.


Can you speak the technical, operational and engineering aspects of our sector? Does the idea of exploring new technologies spin your wheels? Do you find yourself asking, "what impact will that have on the network, now and in the future"? If this sounds like you, you'll want to know more.

  • Lead and support Orion's participation in industry and public forums while recommending solutions that affect the design and operation of future network
  • Design systems and processes to provide visibility of the LV network and enable analysis of network operation and performance
  • Work across the Orion network to standardise Distributed Energy Resources (DER) requirements

About you:

  • Level 7 tertiary qualification in Power Engineering or equivalent knowledge gained from practical experience
  • Extensive experience in a leadership role related to electricity network operations
  • Ability to develop innovation solutions with a fresh and new way of doing things
  • Experience writing complex business cases, piloting programmes, research and development
  • Ability to influence at all levels with a curious and investigative mindset

We offer:

You'll find at Orion, you can come as you are and just be you.

You will be joining a workplace that values who you are, the work you do, and the way you think.


Importantly, we offer:

  • Flexible working arrangements, and flexible locations with our Head office in Burnside and satellite offices in Rolleston and Ferrymead.
  • Three days of "My Days" leave, additional leave after five years, and supportive parental leave provisions.
  • A broad range of workplace benefits from a wellbeing allowance to access to our holiday house in Hanmer
