Position Overview

Own the network. Influence the decisions that shape it.

Wellington Electricity powers over 170,000 homes and businesses across the capital and is recognised as one of New Zealand’s most reliable electricity distribution companies.

Behind that performance is a team of engineers who don’t just deliver work, they own asset performance, manage lifecycle risk, and make the calls that shape how the network evolves.

While all roles sit within the same team and operate across the full asset lifecycle, each has a defined technical focus across distribution and sub‑transmission assets including zone substations, transformers, switchgear, cables, protection systems, and overhead network infrastructure.
