  • Fulfilling New Zealand's energy sector reporting obligations to international agencies.
  • Producing projections of energy supply, demand and greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Undertaking modelling and analysis to inform policy development and design.

  • Enjoys working in a heavily team-focused, collaborative environment.
  • You must have the legal right to live and work in New Zealand and be able to satisfy the Ministry's security clearance requirements.

MBIE's goal is to create a resilient and high-performing economy that delivers real and ongoing quality of life for all New Zealanders.
