Energise your career
Are you passionate about making a real difference in your community? At Vector, we work on projects that fundamentally improve the lives of people around us.

Our everyday conveniences are powered by Vector's commitment to ensuring our infrastructure meets the demands of a rapidly changing future.

We are transforming Auckland's critical infrastructure with high-tech, data-driven solutions and a customer-first approach. Join us in a dynamic, energising environment where your work truly matters to everyone.

About the role
In this varied and busy role, you will be responsible for overseeing the efficient delivery of maintenance activities on Vector’s electricity networks in a safe, reliable, legally-compliant and efficient manner, to agreed plans, budgets and quality metrics.

You’ll work closely with Vector colleagues and peers across all the different streams of work, including our counterparts at our Field Service Providers, to help navigate through any challenges encountered in the course of their maintenance activities, and also with our customers with enquiries pertaining to their own projects’ proximity to Vector assets.

A key component of the role will include site visits to ensure that work is being conducted in a safe manner that complies with Vector standards, as well as ensuring our capital projects are ready for handover to our maintenance partners.

Over the course of a year, you’ll work on hundreds of different jobs that may only last a day or two, or could last for weeks, so you can look forward to significant variety in the day-to-day, as well as the job satisfaction that comes with seeing the tangible results of Vector and our partners’ mahi in the community.

Who we are looking for

• You'll hold an electrical qualification, ideally as a line mechanic, cable jointer or electrician
• You’ll have a wealth of contracts management experience, with a sound knowledge of network activities within the electricity sector and a track record of delivering contracts with successful relationship and commercial outcomes
• You’ll have a fundamental awareness of the network requirements to maintain a safe and reliable electricity network, and sound risk assessment skills
• Your stakeholder management skills will be your strength, helping you build successful relationships with both our partners and customers
• You’ll be someone who thrives on being busy, juggling multiple short-term jobs and varying priorities.
