The electricity industry is at a pivotal moment, with the journey towards renewable energy sources and innovation reshaping how we operate.

We foster an open, collaborative environment that encourages quality, innovation, ongoing learning, and knowledge sharing.

We support a healthy work-life balance and offer a range of benefits to support our teams:

  • Starting salary between $69,000.00 and $86,000.00 (based on skills & experience), and a 3% net KiwiSaver contribution
