Are you someone who thrives in a decision-orientated, real-time environment? Join our collaborative Grid Asset Operations team who stand together - Tū mai Aotearoa - to keep the lights on for all New Zealanders.
Transpower owns and operates New Zealand's National Grid, the High Voltage transmission network connecting areas of generation with towns and cities across New Zealand.
We're proud to have done this in one form or another for over 100 years - powering Kiwi businesses, communities and homes.

- Managing unplanned event communications and reporting (customers, Police, Electricity Authority, and other Transpower groups)
- Monitoring via national SCADA, grid asset status and ensuring they are operated within their rated capability
- Controlling core grid and regional equipment independently as and when required for safety and asset health reasons
- Maintaining effective relationships both internally and with customers (line companies, generators, and direct connects), and service providers

- Excellent written and verbal communications capability and service orientation
- Innate ability to establish and maintain positive relationships and influence people
- A tertiary qualification in engineering or relevant science
- A developed understanding of engineering principals
