Asset Engineer: Secondary Assets
New Plymouth, Tauranga, Palmerston North or Whanganui
Right now, we're after an Asset Engineer to take responsibility for our secondary systems network assets, as part of the Asset Fleet Management team. The team has responsibility for managing our fleets of electricity network assets.
You will be jointly responsible for the strategic direction and lifecycle management of Powerco’s secondary systems assets fleet, ensuring that the fleet as a whole and the individual assets perform in accordance with Powerco’s requirements over their full expected lives. This fleet includes all electrical protection assets, SCADA assets, remote terminal units, dc charging and LV battery installations, and metering installations. You will also coordinate defining the long-term strategy for Powerco’s secondary systems assets in the future.
Your extensive experience in the electricity distribution industry or in a similar asset management role will put you in good stead to hit the ground running. You'll likely have a degree 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 field investigations alongside our service providers.
