About Us:
EA Networks is a locally owned cooperative network company based in Mid Canterbury. It owns and operates the region’s
electricity distribution network, as well as an advanced fibre optic communications network. Being locally owned and operated
means EA Networks and its 130 staff, have strong ties to the local community that they work and live in. The core focus for EA
Networks is on infrastructure investments that provide economic benefit to the region, maintaining a resilient electricity
network and supporting the local community.

On Offer:
We offer competitive remuneration, (including overtime rates plus allowances) a 9-day fortnight and the occasional
opportunity to join our standby rosters. We provide modern well-maintained vehicles and gear that is the envy of many in our
industry alongside access to quality training and progression opportunities. You’ll get to work with like -minded people who are
passionate about keeping the lights and internet on throughout the Ashburton District. You’ll be working in both rural and
urban settings and can learn more about the network as we own it in house.

Being a part of the Ashburton District means you’re a part of strong supportive community with a great semi -rural lifestyle.
With a variety of local dining and services, and excellent skiing, hunting, tramping and fishing spots nearby, you’ll be spoiled for
choice, and as it’s only a 45-minute drive from Christchurch Airport, it doesn’t take long to experience city life.

distribution.

- Be prepared to get in and work as part of a tight-knit crew to get the job done
