Starting a career in a distribution power company offers opportunities for growth and development in a critical industry. With a solid understanding of the basics, a focus on safety, and a commitment to learning, you’ll be well on your way to a successful career.
Working collaboratively across the Canterbury Operations team, you will be required to safely and efficiently operate plant and machinery associated with the installation, repair and maintenance of underground, overhead electricity and street lighting utilities. Activities include trenching/back-filling, cable laying, pole erecting or any other general labouring activities directed by Connetics. This role may require travel outside the Canterbury region and may require regular rostered standby to support afterhours “faults” support.
