**Who we are**

The Orion Group is here to power New Zealand’s cleanest and brightest community, now and in the future. Working for us means joining a best-in-class electricity network that enables energy choice and supports decarbonising our region and Aotearoa. People matter to us, we care deeply about our people, the public and the community we serve striving towards a sustainable future for generations to come. The Orion Group is made up of Orion, Connetics and Energy Academy.

Orion owns and operates the electricity distribution network that provides power to central Canterbury. As the third largest electricity distribution network in New Zealand, we cover remote rural areas, regional towns and the city of Christchurch.

Connetics is a multi-disciplined, multi-regional electrical design, construction, and maintenance business and offers a true design, supply, build, operate, and maintain delivery model.

Energy Academy is working to close the gap between supply and demand for capability in the energy sector.

The future in the energy sector is full of opportunity. The Orion Group is taking a long-term investment view based on a supportive, inclusive, and high-performing culture. Additionally, we are led by nationally recognised, award winning Head of People & Culture (who would be totally embarrassed by us saying so) and surrounded by line managers keen to engage and collaborate.
