**About the team**

Within our Grid Delivery Division, our Quality and Compliance team works closely with other internal teams, external service providers, contractors, and consultants. They ensure quality is at the forefront of what we do, including in the planning of how the work on our transmission system and assets is delivered, and is planned to be delivered, ensuring it is done right.

This work is critically important in assuring that regulatory, code of practice, industry standards, and Transpower's business and contractual requirements are aligned with through monitoring grid compliance, handling breaches, and facilitating asset capability changes. It drives feedback, learning opportunities, insights, and fosters ongoing improvements to help realise investment, construction, improvement, maintenance, and operations outcomes.

This approach not only helps keep the lights on, but also ensures effective delivery of services to our internal and external Grid Delivery partners, customers, and regulators, and contributes to the advancement of our energy future.

While based in Wellington, this role involves a mix of corporate, regional office, and field activities nationally, including coordination, analysis, and management reporting for the collective quality group. Your efforts will drive strong feedback loops, support continual improvement, and enhance management outcomes across our quality ecosystem.

**What will you bring?**
