Kaitaki Pūhanga Engineer Manager

Kaitaki Pūhanga Engineer Manager
- Full-time

**Company Description**:
We believe that if we want to be a world class Kiwi Company, we shouldn’t just employ people, divide them into functional departments and tell them what to do. Instead, we defined a purpose - to solve what matters for our customers and their moving world - and go about achieving this by setting clear goals and expectations and embracing diversity of thought.

At Z, Customer Experience is at the heart of everything we do - our strategy, capability development and investment decisions. We're creating and continually developing products and digital channels our customers will love and that make their lives easier.

Z's low carbon future is about helping our customers on their own transitional journey. We know our customers will transition at different stages and with different needs, Z wants to be there to help when that time comes.

The Z of 2030 and 2050 needs to look very different to today. Increasing our EV charging network is a key example of how we are actively choosing to invest in low-carbon revenue streams that are better for the planet and deliver a sustainable, viable future for our business.
