Company Description
**Te Tākinatanga | Our Story**

At Contact, we believe home is the most important place in the world. It's all part of our vision to leave Aotearoa better than we found it. We’re a power and broadband company, but we’re so much more than that. We are transforming the ways we mahi, and how Aotearoa is powered, leading the charge on renewable energy and digitising customer journeys in ways not yet seen here. A team of 1000+ from all walks of life who love what we do, look out for each other, and learn from one another every day, we’re stoked to be guided by our tikanga: we touch lives to make life better.

**Job Description**:
**He aha te ia o tēnei mahi? | What's this role about?**

As an Energy Analyst, you’ll be part of the high-performing, fast-paced trading group that Contact depends on to maximise the value of the business by buying and selling energy in NZ’s energy markets.

You will play a key role in developing Contact’s commercial operations strategy in the here and now, and in the future. Your focus will be less about building tools and more about collecting information from the tools. You will use the data to tell a story, advise strategies and communicate them to our management teams.

This role sits in the Spot Markets team, but you will also support the wider trading group; Forward Markets, Dispatch Trading, Fuels, Transmission and Data Management. It’s the perfect opportunity to work collaboratively and understand the Contact Energy business from the ground up.

This role promises to provide variety with a particular focus across the following areas:

- Ensure Contact’s understanding of the gas and electricity markets remains of a high standard
- Develop tools, processes and systems that enhance the ability of the team to understand the market on a day-to-day basis
- Complete gas market nominations and balancing processes
- Provide advice to management teams

Note that there is an on-call component in this job which requires you to be on-call one week in every 4 weeks.

**Tā mātou e kimi nei? | What are we looking for?**

You thrive in a fast-paced multi-faceted environment. Your energy sector knowledge, strong commercial acumen and communication skills ensure your voice is heard.

You will have a knack for identifying opportunities within the highly complex energy market. And you’ll be a pro at producing high quality analysis of energy market issues and formulating operational strategies.

Your analytical mindset allows you to decipher complex information and convey it to a diverse audience (including those of us who are not technically minded). You understand how to deal with complexities and ambiguity and are confident working under pressure.

Continuous learning is important here at Contact so if you’re a fast learner and passionate about developing your own knowledge and expertise that will get us excited.

Additionally, a good knowledge of the Microsoft office suite in particular well developed spread sheeting skills is desirable.

If you consider yourself an all-round good human being who loves to work within teams and enjoys coming to work and contributing, professionally and personally, we want to hear from you. We spend a fair bit of time together so having some fun is important

What does success look like to us? Being the best version of yourself.
