Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand Transpower New Zealand Full time

Transpower owns and operates the National Grid, transporting high-voltage electricity from where it's generated to homes, businesses, and communities across New Zealand. As a key player in the electricity sector, we're enabling accelerated electrification and a sustainable, net carbon zero future.

About The Team
Our Grid Delivery division oversees all work on New Zealand's transmission network, including project and maintenance activities carried out by our service providers. Our warehouse teams, based across the country, play a crucial role in ensuring materials are available for grid maintenance and development projects.

About The Opportunity
Based in Bunnythorpe, you'll work as part of a team supplying Service Providers with materials for both project and maintenance work, ensuring inventory and warehouse operations run smoothly.

Reporting to the Warehouse Supervisor, you'll uphold high standards in material handling and stock control, ensuring timely deliveries to site. No two days are the same, and you'll take on ownership and responsibility as part of a small, dedicated team focused on delivering excellent service.

You'll be physically fit (lifting up to 20kg) and thrive in a role that includes:

  • Receiving and managing inwards goods.
  • Picking, packing, and dispatching orders.
  • Ensuring stock accuracy by maintaining correct bin locations in the system.
  • Assisting with regular stock cycle counts.
  • Carrying out visual inspections to check stock quality and making sure older items are used first (FIFO).
  • Keeping the warehouse tidy and organised.
The environment
This isn't a typical warehouse. We store high-value infrastructure items essential to New Zealand's power supply, including long lead-time equipment and some very large, heavy, and unusually shaped items.

Handling transformers, transmission parts, and heavy machinery means secure crating is essential for transport. You'll be responsible for building custom crates to protect large or awkwardly shaped items, so you must be confident using nail guns, skill saws, etc.

As you'd expect, safety comes first. We follow strict Health & Safety standards to ensure a secure working environment for everyone.

About You
You're reliable, focused, and eager to get the job done. With a hands-on approach and a willingness to learn, you'll bring a positive attitude and a strong work ethic to our fast-paced environment.

You are a competent and licensed forklift operator, holding a Forklift Operator's Certificate (OSH) and, if driving on a road, an "F" endorsement on your driver's licence.

To be considered, your CV and cover letter must demonstrate:
  • Proven experience in warehousing or stock management.
  • Competence in forklift operation with the necessary licences and familiarity with gantry cranes (with training provided if required).
  • A strong understanding of health, safety, and environmental (HSE) requirements.
  • Confidence using Microsoft Outlook (emails) and Excel.
While not essential, experience with inventory management systems, scanning devices, or devanning containers will be an advantage - let us know if you have it. MPI training will be provided, and accreditation is required for the role.

Join us at Transpower
Aotearoa is powered by the people who work here. Every home, every marae, every electric vehicle, every hospital relies on the electricity we manage and deliver. This is your opportunity to join us on a mission that affects all New Zealanders, every day, and long into the future. With over 28 nationalities, our people provide diverse perspectives, knowledge, and rich experience which they love to share.

We prioritise employee wellbeing with a range of health and wellness benefits - check them out here: staff benefits.

Next steps
If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and be part of a supportive warehouse team, we invite you to review the position description in full and apply without delay.

Applications close Sunday 6 April. However, we'll review applications as they're received and may contact you before the closing date to facilitate shortlisting.

Please note: You must have existing eligibility to work in New Zealand.
