**Company Description**

**Te Tākinatanga - Our Story**
- Ko tā Contact e whakapono nei, ko te taiao tonu te taonga nui katoa o te ao._
- Koinei mātou e whai atu nei kia mahue atu i a mātou tētahi ao hauora ake, tēnā i te ora i kuhu ai mātou._
- He pakihi whakarato hiko, ipurangi mātou, engari arā kē atu anō ā mātou taha._
- Kei te whakawhanake mātou i ā mātou mahi ake, i ngā ara hoki e whai hiko ai a Aotearoa, kei te kōkiri kia tukua te hiko tukurua, ā, kei te whakaputa i tētahi wheako matihiko mō ā mātou kiritaki kāore anō kia kitea i tēnei whenua._
- He tīma kotahi mano mātou nō ngā hau e whā, e ngākau nui ana ki ā mātou mahi, e aroha ana tētahi ki tētahi, e ako ngātahi ana, e whakapono tahi ana ki ā mātou tikanga ārahi: mā te manaaki kia toa, ka mana te katoa._

At Contact, we believe home is the most important place in the world. It's all part of our vision to leave Aotearoa better than we found it. We’re a power and broadband company, but we’re so much more than that. We are transforming the ways we mahi, and how Aotearoa is powered, leading the charge on renewable energy and digitising customer journeys in ways not yet seen here. A team of 1000+ from all walks of life who love what we do, look out for each other, and learn from one another every day, we’re stoked to be guided by our tikanga: we touch lives to make life better.

Over our 25-year history we’ve built a flexible and largely renewable portfolio of electricity generation assets. We own and operate 11 power stations, are building two more, and setting wheels in motion to diversify further. Between our Tauhara build, Te Huka expansion, future developments in wind and solar, and more we can’t tell you about just yetthere is a project here you want to be a part of.

What is it they say? “Do the mahi, get the treats.” Our Taupō-based engineers enjoy the best of both worlds, fulfilled with epic work by day, epic lifestyle the rest of the time. Nestled in the heart of the North Island ashore sparkling Lake Taupō, whether you’re into snowboarding, mountain biking, fishing, climbing, hiking, skiing, wakeboarding, or simply losing yourself in awe-inspiring scenery, it’s all here - and Taupō has a grand total of two sets of traffic lights, so you’ll get there fast.

The Senior Electrical Engineer’s role is to provide electrical discipline review of the engineering of geothermal power plant, currently procured under an EPC contract. The role has a strong emphasis on working with the EPC contractors to collaboratively deliver the engineering of power plant while protecting Contact’s interests both contractually and in achieving reliable, efficient, economic, and safely operating power plant.

This role will report to the Power Engineer Lead, but will also work the designated discipline lead and there is also a requirement to form and maintain collaborative relationships within Contact’s Electrical SMEs.

- Provide Electrical discipline reviews of power plant designs delivered by external parties

- Provide advice to and support the electrical discipline lead
- Maintain knowledge of and comply with all industry safety rules, codes of practice and regulations (e.g. QMS, HSE, Resource Consents, Electricity and Gas Regulations, PECPR, Major Hazard Facilities)
- Liaise with project team members to support key discipline technical decisions

**Qualifications**

**Ko wai koe | About you**

A clear communicator, you’re comfortable providing candid technical advice to senior leadership, able to convey complex information simply, and can undertake and lead others through complex problem solving. You understand the commercial drivers behind projects and are known for contributing positively to contracting strategy, including technical scope and risk allocation for major projects, as well as being comfortable with change, able to adapt and shift gears as need be.
