Get Off the Tools – But Not Out of the Field

Asset Inspector | Eastern Bay of Plenty

If you’ve got the ticket (EWRB), know your way around a network, and still enjoy working outdoors without climbing every pole — we want to talk.

We’re looking for a seasoned trade professional with a current NZ Electrical Practising Licence to take on a field-based role that blends technical inspections, risk assessments, digital reporting , and relationship management. You’ll play a key part in keeping our network safe, reliable, and future-ready .

What You'll Be Doing:

Conducting cyclic inspections and testing across a wide range of distribution assets — overhead, underground, substations and more
Identifying defects and risks, capturing data accurately with mobile devices
Completing on-site minor repairs where needed
Supporting asset audits, GPS location , and cable/circuit identification
Assisting in quality assurance, safety audits, and post-construction verification
Collaborating with internal teams, contractors, landowners, and customers

What You Bring:

NZ Electrical Practising Licence and a background in electricity distribution
Solid understanding of industry regulations, safety procedures, and testing methods
Comfortable using GIS tools, tablets, and digital data systems (or open to learning)
Strong judgement on asset condition and confident working independently in the field
A self-starting, customer-minded approach — able to represent the business well on-site

You’ll be trusted to work autonomously , backed by a team that values your input, and encouraged to contribute to continual improvement across safety, asset management, and field processes. You’ll also help shape frameworks that impact long-term risk and reliability — not just tick boxes.

Why Make the Move?

No toolshed politics – just a tight team that knows their stuff
Smart, structured work – less firefighting, more foresight
Based in the beautiful Eastern Bay of Plenty – where your downtime matters too
Stability – this is a permanent, essential service role with growth potential
