As our Technical Writer (IAM), you will create accurate and comprehensive technical (asset management) documentation while being able to organise content for a wide and diverse audience. A key aspect of this role is the collaboration you’ll create with wider business and end users within the IAM programme.

**About us**

Passionate, curious, and innovative are a few words that describe our people. We are powering the future, connecting communities, and igniting innovation. Orion owns and operates the electricity distribution network that provides power to central Canterbury. As the third largest electricity distribution network in New Zealand, we cover remote rural areas, regional towns, and the city of Christchurch.

**The role**
- Develop comprehensive asset management documentation for the IAM’s processes while collaborating with asset managers
- Engage with IAM’s asset management, network development, electrical engineering and network operations team
- Produce technical documentation for electrical distribution networks, electrical engineering principles and network operations
- Implement version control for IAM’s technical documentation, managing repositories to ensure access the latest versions
- Maintain consistent writing style, formatting and terminology across IAM’s technical documentation
- Provide training sessions to internal IAM teams on documentation best practices

**About you**
- Minimum 5 years’ experience as a Technical Writer with a relevant degree or proven experience within a utility or asset management field
- Ability to convey complex technical information to a wide and intended audience
- Strong attention to detail ensuring precision and accuracy in technical documentation
- Ability to collaborate and build excellent relationships ensuring ‘best for business’ outcomes
- Solution and outcome focused while being comfortable with ambiguity and the ability to analyse opportunities and risks
- Flexibility to understand and adapt to technical domains, industries and evolving technologies

**We offer**

You’ll find at Orion, you can come as you are and just be you. You will be joining a workplace that values who you are, the work you do, and the way you think. Importantly, we offer:

- Flexible working arrangements, and flexible locations with our Head office in Burnside and satellite offices in Rolleston and Ferrymead
- Three days of “My Days” leave
- A broad range of workplace benefits from a wellbeing allowance to access to our holiday house in Hanmer

You might be surprised to find out that the company that brings the power to your home is innovative, inclusive, progressive, and quite good fun.
