You’ll be responsible for providing network capacity and security to meet customers’ needs for a high quality, reliable and resilient power supply at an effective cost. You’ll do this through pioneering ideas and technology, utilising digital platforms and non-wired alternatives.

In this role, you’ll enjoy the sort of satisfaction that comes with knowing you’re playing an integral part in Vector achieving our Symphony Strategy, keeping the lights on and homes warm across Auckland whilst driving a sustainable new energy future.

**Who we are looking for**

We envisage you’ll have the following experience and attributes:

- A bachelor’s degree in a related field, with substantial experience in the electricity or relevant engineering sector
- You’ll hold chartered engineer status, or be progressing towards this through IPENZ (or equivalent overseas)
- You’ll be an experienced planner, adept in the use of modelling tools
- You’ll collaborate with other teams effectively, building and maintaining relationships across departments and organisations

**What we can offer you**

Whether it’s the opportunity to do meaningful mahi and build a legacy for Auckland and New Zealand, to work in an innovative and transformative sector, or our commitment to supporting your development, there’s a myriad of reasons to choose a career with Vector.
