Let's talk about you. Your experience in the electricity distribution industry or in a similar asset management role will put you in good stead to hit the ground running with Powerco. You'll likely have a degree or NZCE in electrical engineering under your belt. You'll also have a keen eye for the details and will be no stranger to presenting a report or two, or leading failure investigations in the field, along with our field crews.
Life is good here at Powerco. You'll join a fun, tight-knit group of dedicated, passionate people and play an important role in a company that's a major contributor to the community.
