Decarbonising New Zealand's economy is at the heart of what we do at Transpower. We're driving the country's shift to electrification and a net-zero carbon future.

**About the team**

Transpower's Grid Delivery division ensures our grid assets continue to reliably deliver electricity to Aotearoa.

The Primary Assets Operational Engineering team, within Grid Delivery, provides expert guidance in identifying and resolving primary asset issues, conducting technical investigations, developing standard maintenance procedures and delivering improvement recommendations.

As a senior engineer, you will be on call (approximately every six weeks) to provide technical expertise and primary asset advise to the National Coordination Centre, National Grid Operations Centre, service providers, service delivery stakeholders and senior managers.
