Company Overview
Transpower New Zealand Limited (Tpnz) owns and operates New Zealand's National Grid, the High Voltage transmission network connecting areas of generation with towns and cities across New Zealand.
We're proud to have done this in one form or another for over 100 years - powering Kiwi businesses, communities, and homes.
About the Team
As part of the Operations Division, the Grid Operations team are responsible for the National Grid Operations Centres (NGOC) in Auckland and Christchurch, performing key activities and service functions such as:
- Controlling the real-time operation of national grid assets including operation of the HVDC link
- Managing asset availability to the System Operator for planned and unplanned outages, in line with the Grid Owner's CODE compliance obligations
- Managing unplanned event communications and reporting (customers, Police, Electricity Authority, and other Transpower groups)
- Monitoring via national SCADA, grid asset status and ensuring they are operated within their rated capability
- Controlling core grid and regional equipment independently as and when required for safety and asset health reasons
- Maintaining effective relationships both internally and with customers (line companies, generators, and direct connects), and service providers

Transpower typically operates a shift pattern: 2 days then 2 night shifts, alternating 6.00am then 6.00pm starts, with 3.5 days off between the next round of shifts.
Based in Auckland, you will be supported and encouraged as you work to complete a circa one-two year training pathway to competency.
To be considered, you will demonstrate the ability to progress through learning at pace, and the desire and flexibility to enjoy a shift-based work environment.
Your previous work history will illustrate:
- Minimum 2-3 years of experience delivering high-quality work in a critical, process-supported and decision-orientated environment
- Intermediate/Advanced computer literacy and an ability to use specialised software applications
- Excellent written and verbal communications capability and service orientation
