Job Description

Energise your career

If you like the idea of working on projects that make a fundamental difference to the lives of people in your community, consider a role at Vector.

So much of what we take for granted in our everyday lives is enabled by the work that Vector is doing to ensure our infrastructure is fit for purpose for a rapidly changing future.

Across our network we are transforming the way that Auckland's critical infrastructure is delivered through high-tech data-led solutions and customer first thinking. It's a dynamic, energising place to work because what you do here matters to everyone.

About the role

Auckland is experiencing significant growth, and this is true of our electricity network too. At a time of transport electrification and network resilience in the face of increasing adverse weather events, the long- and short-term planning of our network has never been more challenging. At the same time, this presents an exciting opportunity in these roles.

You'll be responsible for undertaking technical assessments relating to customer connections and issues, network constraints and power quality violations. You will need to apply engineering best practice to provide solutions that increase network capacity and maintain network security to meet customers' needs for a high quality, reliable and resilient power supply at an effective cost. You'll do this through pioneering ideas and technology, utilising digital platforms and non-wired alternatives.

In these roles, you'll enjoy the sort of satisfaction that comes with knowing you're playing an integral part in Vector achieving our Symphony Strategy, keeping the lights on and homes warm across Auckland whilst driving a sustainable new energy future.

We are pleased to invite applications at either Engineer or Senior Engineer level, and can appoint either dependent on the experience of the successful candidate. There are two positions available – one permanent, and one 12-month fixed term.

Who we are looking for

We envisage you'll have the following experience and attributes:

  • At least a bachelor's degree in a related field, with experience in electrical engineering
  • You'll be knowledgeable about traditional power system network architecture and equipment, and emerging technologies and their application to deliver solutions
  • You'll be experienced in power system analysis, design and planning
  • You'll have experience in using power system simulation software, eg PowerFactory, PSSE
  • You'll be adept at deriving insights and interpreting large data sets
  • You'll collaborate with other teams effectively, building and maintaining relationships across departments and organisations with a diverse audience of stakeholders
  • You'll be an effective communicator, adapting your style to different audiences.

Senior Engineer candidates will also have a track record of mentoring and coaching other team members.

What we can offer you

Whether it's the opportunity to do meaningful mahi and build a legacy for Auckland and New Zealand, to work in an innovative and transformative sector, or our commitment to supporting your development, there's a myriad of reasons to choose a career with Vector.

We also offer:

  • Free insurances, subsidised healthcare and an annual wellbeing grant
  • A fun, flexible and stimulating work environment, full of interesting work being done by smart and innovative people
  • Flexibility, including the choice of working from home a couple of days a week, and flexible start and finish times so you can balance work and life
  • Health and wellbeing support
  • Great benefits that reflect the importance of family

Apply

Applications close by Sunday 13 April 2025; however, interviews may be held before, so apply today

Vector engages a workforce made up of people and teams with diverse skills, values, backgrounds and experiences. We respect and value people who are different from each other, including gender, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, race and religion.
