Join our team where on-the-job development is a key focus. Collaborate towards a more reliable and sustainable energy future for Aotearoa
New Zealand's electricity system is unique.

The national grid is connected by an HVDC-link between our two main islands, with a large amount of renewable energy generated in the South and a growing load requirement in the North.

Over the next 5 years we will more than double the investment to replace existing protection and automation assets, support new generation and load growth, and advance our transition to a renewable energy economy.

Our Operational Engineering Group in the Grid Delivery division provides real-time engineering support and advice for issues on the grid, and engages with the wider business to facilitate improvements in our standard designs and processes.

The team works collaboratively to monitor and review the condition, capability, compliance, and performance of transmission protection assets.


Operational Protection and Automation provides advice, training, and support for grid operations and maintenance (including working with our Service Providers), and reviews and provides feedback on policies and standards for design, procurement, condition assessment, maintenance, spares, and replacement of grid protection and automation.
