Energy Innovation Lead

6 days ago

Te Kuiti, New Zealand The Lines Company Full time

Are you an electrician or technical whiz who loves people as much as problem-solving? Do you get a buzz out of trying new things and finding smarter ways to power our communities? The TLC Future Energy team is on the hunt for an energetic, community-minded Energy Innovation Lead to help us shape the future of energy in the King Country.

Mō mātou | About Us

We're The Lines Company (TLC), powering the King Country for almost 100 years. Community-owned and future-focused, we're all about keeping the lights on while finding smarter, cleaner, more innovative ways to do it. From homes and farms to schools and businesses, we're here 24/7—and we're a team that works hard, has each other's backs, and knows how to share a laugh along the way.

Mō te tūranga | About the Role

This isn't your average desk job. As our Energy Innovation Lead, you'll bring your technical know-how and people skills together to help deliver projects that connect customers, communities, and new technologies.

You'll:

Work on projects that explore how distributed energy (like solar, batteries, and EVs) can fit into our network.

Partner with local iwi, community groups, and customers to create real, lasting impact.

Turn new ideas into practical solutions that make a difference.

Keep things running smoothly – managing timelines, budgets, and communication between teams.

Nā tāu rourou | What you'll bring

We're after someone who:

Has an electrical background – maybe you're a qualified electrician, technician, or have worked in the power industry.

Communicates clearly and builds strong relationships – whether it's with customers, contractors, or community groups.

Brings energy, curiosity, and creativity to their work.

Is confident working with iwi and understands the importance of collaboration and respect.

Can juggle multiple tasks, stay organised, and see projects through from start to finish.

If you've dabbled in new technologies like solar, batteries, or EV charging, that's a bonus

He aha tā mātou | What we offer

We don't just offer a job—we offer a vibe:

A pay packet you'll actually smile at

Insurance for peace of mind (medical & life)

Extra leave days (because burnout is boring)

Wellbeing perks for your body + brain

Flexibility to work in a way that actually works

The chance to grow, lead, and learn cool new things

The joy of seeing your projects light up homes, farms, and TikTok streams

Me pēhea te tono | How to apply

Applications close 31st of October 2025

The boring but important bits: you'll need to be a NZ Citizen, Resident, or have a valid NZ Work Visa. We also do Ministry of Justice checks and pre-employment medical + drug/alcohol screening (gotta keep it safe).
