Technology, our software and systems, and how we get the best information for our business, our environment and the energy sector are key. To help foster this we are on the lookout for a Control Systems Engineer to play a critical role in the design, development and lifecycle management of our control systems.

If you are technology focused, innovative and love to develop solutions that create the best outcomes for our control and operational technology systems, and are looking to make the move to Orion, then this could be the role for you.

**About us**

Passionate, curious, and innovative are a few words that describe our people. We are powering the future, connecting communities, and igniting innovation. Orion owns and operates the electricity distribution network that provides power to Christchurch and central Canterbury. As the third largest electricity distribution network in New Zealand, we cover remote rural areas, regional towns, and the city of Christchurch.

We are an essential service and take our responsibilities seriously. We are community owned and working here means a career with meaning and purpose that makes a difference in your very own neighbourhood.

**The role**
- Monitor control system performance and assist with the optimisation of equipment lifecycles

- The creation of new SCADA sites including commissioning and testing of SCADA points
- Provide practical training sessions to staff and service providers for the implementation of new RTU and SCADA equipment
- Review distribution network designs to ensure they fit with the OT & IT architecture.

**About you**
- Depth of experience in a similar role with a solid knowledge of control systems implementations
- Understanding of SCADA, networking, operating systems, control systems network protocols and RTUs
- Strong analytical skills with an advanced level of knowledge with Excel with attention to detail
- Experience with GE ADMS, Foxboro and SEL RTU products will be an advantage
- Comfortable working in a dynamic and complex environment across various cross-functional teams
- Be highly motivated, innovative, curious and open to new ways of doing things, so you’ll need to think outside the box

**We offer**

You’ll find at Orion, you can come as you are and just be you. You will be joining a workplace that values who you are, the work you do, and the way you think. Importantly, we offer:

- Flexible working arrangements, and flexible locations with our head office in Burnside and satellite offices in Rolleston and Ferrymead
- Three days of “My Days” leave
- A broad range of workplace benefits from a wellbeing allowance to access to our holiday house in Hanmer

You might be surprised to find out that the company that brings the power to your home is innovative, inclusive, progressive, and quite good fun.
