Wellington City, New Zealand Transpower Full time

Support advice and numerical analysis to internal and external customers
- Work with the specialised transmission pricing system
- Join a supportive team with stimulating, meaningful work

Are you an intellectually curious analyst keen to grow and develop skills in electricity network pricing?

As New Zealand's only transmission company, Transpower's role as a State-Owned Enterprise is to build, operate, and maintain the National Grid. At the heart of the electricity sector, we have a unique and critical role, including helping to enable and accelerate a net-zero carbon future.

Transpower sets its annual transmission charges each year in accordance with the Transmission Pricing Methodology (TPM), which is a schedule of the Electricity Industry Participation Code and is governed by the Electricity Authority. Because our transmission network is a natural monopoly, our investments in grid assets and allowable revenue are regulated by the Commerce Commission.

**About the team**

As the demand for electricity continues to grow to meet climate change and sustainability goals, so too does the demand for the critical infrastructure and Transmission services to enable this change.

The Pricing team is a small, supportive group of experts who operate and administer the grid pricing function that determines how Transpower's costs as owner and operator of the Grid (~$1B pa) are recovered from our direct customers.

The team must equally consider the interests of all our customers. This places a heavy reliance on consistency and precedent (as opposed to unregulated pricing that is much more flexible). The team is an internal gatekeeper for ensuring Transpower is kept whole (as a cost recovery business), and pricing outcomes are consistent with the guiderails of regulation.

Ultimately, our work supports Transpower to be a successful and commercially orientated business that works with the best long-term interests of New Zealand.

**The opportunity**

Based in Waikoukou, our Wellington head office, you will have the opportunity to progressively learn in order to support specialist knowledge transfer. As such your work will ultimately contribute to supporting the delivery of Transpower's pricing obligations, helping customers understand the pricing implications of new connections to the grid.

Providing analytical, administrative, and coordination support, you will then learn how to progress to contributing evidence-based recommendations, and in time with career progression, contribute to pricing thought leadership aimed at ensuring Transpower sustains its social license to operate as a regulated monopoly business. You will learn how to and contribute to:

- calculating annual transmission charges to a high standard, with mínimal auditor-identified errors or changes.
- high-quality analysis, aimed at understanding the "why" behind the numbers, including following your intuition to explore and explain any anomalies.
- the development of Transpower's interpretation and understanding of its regulated pricing obligations, risks, opportunities, and incentives
- developing and operating high standard commercial investment models or calculations for internal consumption that are easy to follow.
- helping foster a better understanding of what "good" looks like in a commercial and regulatory context throughout the business.

**What will you bring?**

Energy, intellectual curiosity, outstanding organisational skills, and an ability to learn quickly. You will have a passion for numbers and enjoy problem solving, and be delivery focused, calm, and positive.

Your CV and cover letter will demonstrate:

- Attention to detail and the importance of high-quality numerical modelling, analysis, and data distillation.
- Ability to multi-task and work on a variety of tasks/projects at a given point in time.

We will support growing your:

- analytical thinking and ability to think and comprehend broadly across a topic, recognising multiple perspectives, acknowledging detail appropriately, and distilling to what it means in the context of Transpower's strategic direction.
- knowledge of regulatory frameworks and what it means to work in a regulated business.
- understanding of commercial principles.
- understanding and knowledge of the nature and design of the electricity industry's core business processes.
