Taupo, New Zealand Contact Energy Full time

**Company Description**

**Te Tākinatanga | Our Story**

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.

**Kōrero mō te tūranga | About the role**

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.

Right now, we have six power stations in Taupō. We’re about to have a seventh, then start building the eighth and ninth, and are looking for senior and almost-senior Mechanical Engineers keen to join for the ride. (These are all permanent roles, all full time, but the nitty-gritty of what/where/when will be worked out based on your experience and what you’re most interested in.)

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you’ll provide technical leadership where it matters most, get stuck into a range of engineering projects, lead and mentor those coming through behind you, and be appreciated as a deep Subject Matter Expert (SME) in your area of expertise. If you’re not quite there yet, **we still want to hear from you**. Almost-Senior engineers will be supported on that pathway, and whether you
- re a Senior or just-about, our engineers all enjoy career growth, great teammates, exciting projects, ongoing training and development, and leadership from some of the best in the biz, who genuinely care about their people.

**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.

**What else you'll bring**:

- Degree in engineering or equivalent qualifications ideally with recognized professional registration (CPEng, Int PE) with power generation (or similar) as a practice area.
- **At least 10 years’ experience **in the power sector (or similar heavy industry).
- A high level of expertise and experience in mechanical engineering in your area of expertise, ideally including heavy rotating equipment, pressure parts, functional safety, or similar disciplines.
- Project management and contract management experience.
- Knowledge of financial modelling for the evaluation of investment opportunities and business case development.

**Additional Information**

There are a bunch of perks to being a permanent Contact kaimahi (employee). Along with great leadership, teammates, development, and growth and progression opportunities, you’ll enjoy flexible working, free health insurance cover, better-than-your-average leave, access to Contact Shares, a ‘Good to be Home’ annual payment toward your home set up & wellbeing, discounts on Contact Energy products, and more.
