The posting

Company Description

Mai te hiku ki te taurapa, whitikina e te rā

From the tail of the fish to the tail of the waka, shines the sun

This whakataukī speaks to our journey across Aotearoa, one waka, one purpose, powered by the natural forces that sustain us. Meridian is Aotearoa’s largest renewable electricity producer, generating energy from the winds of Tāwhirimātea, the waters of Tangaroa, and the warmth of Tama-nui-te-rā.

Together, our two brands, Meridian and Powershop retail electricity to more than 400,000 homes, businesses and farms across New Zealand. Now that’s a pretty impressive combo!

Mō te tūranga | About the role

Meridian is hiring an Engineering Manager to support the upgrade of our iconic Waitaki Power Station.

This role forms part of the core Waitaki Upgrade Project leadership team and provides overall engineering leadership across the project. Reporting to the Project Manager, the Engineering Manager is responsible for coordinating Meridian’s engineering input, leading the project’s engineering resources and ensuring technical requirements, design intent and engineering decisions are effectively managed through design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover. ​

The role works closely with the Project Manager, Construction Manager, Commercial Manager, operational teams, engineering leads, contractors and original equipment manufacturers to ensure the project delivers safe, reliable and high-performing long-term asset outcomes.​

This role will require travel to the Waitaki Power Station so ability and willingness to travel to site is essential. There will be a pool car available for travel.

He aha koe i hono mai ai ki a mātou? | Why join us?

We’re a great place to work with plenty of opportunities and career development for those that want it. We value and live by three ‘How to Be’s’: ‘be gutsy’, working together by ‘being in the waka’ and doing the right thing by ‘being a good human’.

We embrace diversity and inclusion and ensure that everyone feels like they belong, are welcomed, feel valued, and feel comfortable to bring their whole selves to work. We want all our people to be the best that they can be, so we make sure that there’s room for everyone to be exactly who they are, and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences, including individuals with disabilities, diverse health needs, and those who identify as neurodiverse, because we believe our differences make us stronger. We believe that fun is good for you, and we make sure that our office vibe reflects that. We support each other and celebrate our successes.

Sustainability sits firmly in our DNA – both socially and environmentally – and we’re doing what we can to help Aotearoa reduce their carbon emissions and we’re helping support others in our generation communities to do the same.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
