Christchurch, New Zealand Transpower Full time

At Transpower, we're committed to leading New Zealand's journey toward a net-zero carbon economy, ensuring a secure and reliable electricity system for the future.

**About the team**

Our Operations Division manages the wholesale electricity market and operates the power system so that New Zealand homes and businesses can access the electricity they need every second of every day.

The National Grid Operations Centre (NGOC) oversees the operation of Transpower's grid assets, enabling the safe and efficient delivery of electricity nationwide. Our team coordinates grid access, manages outage planning, and supports project and maintenance work to keep New Zealand's electricity network secure and resilient.

**About the opportunity**

Based in our **Christchurch** office, you'll join a national team that plays a key role in supporting grid projects and maintenance.

As an Associate Grid Operations Planner, you'll develop foundational skills in preparing outage documentation and coordinating safe access to transmission assets. You'll also work closely with experienced planners and engineers, building valuable technical expertise and developing relationships with key stakeholders.

In this role, you will:

- Assist in designing detailed outage plans and operational documentation.
- Support the commissioning and decommissioning of grid assets.
- Contribute to grid planning process improvements as we transition to a more digital environment.
- Collaborate with distribution companies, service providers, and internal teams to help ensure safe and efficient grid operations.

As you gain experience, you'll have the opportunity to take on additional responsibilities, expand your network, and develop valuable skills in grid operations.

**About you**

You're detail-oriented and comfortable learning in a technical environment.

Naturally inquisitive, you enjoy solving problems, using information and logic to piece together outage plans, timeframes, and requirements. You're also open to new tools and technology and want to make processes more effective and efficient.

Whether you're beginning your career in infrastructure, have experience in a technical role, or are interested in developing grid operations expertise, we'll provide you with support and training to help you succeed in this role.

**To be considered, your CV and cover letter will demonstrate the followinga**:

- Interest in the electrical industry or critical infrastructure.
- Strong relationship-building and communication skills.
- Analytical skills and a high level of attention to detail.
- Clear written and verbal communication to convey technical information accurately.

While not essential, we'd love to see:

- A tertiary qualification in engineering or a related field.
- An understanding of power systems.

**Join us at Transpower**

Aotearoa is powered by the people who work here. Every home, every marae, every electric vehicle, and every hospital relies on the electricity we manage and deliver. This is your opportunity to join us on a mission that affects all New Zealanders, every day, and long into the future.

We work in the office or on-site for a minimum of three days each week, which helps us build and maintain relationships, support learning, deliver outcomes, and sustain our culture. This approach also provides the flexibility needed for both work and personal commitments, with adaptable daily start and finish times.

We prioritise employee wellbeing with a range of health and wellness benefits - check them out here.

**Next steps**

While we aim to appoint before Christmas, we are happy to accommodate your personal circumstances regarding a start date in January 2025.

**NB: Existing eligibility to work in New Zealand is essential.**
