Job Description:

Join us in this thoughtfully reshaped role, where you can take the momentum and push further. Excellent role combining stakeholder engagement and network standards! Aurora Energy is one of New Zealand’s largest electricity networks, delivering safe, reliable, and sustainable electricity to over 200,000 residents across Ōtepoti Dunedin, Central Otago/Wānaka, and Tāhuna Queenstown. Our purpose is enabling the energy future of our communities. As Operational Practices Lead, you’ll play a key role in lifting how the network operates, shaping operational practices, improving processes, and influencing how work is planned and delivered. You’ll sit at the intersection of operations, engineering, safety, and service delivery, ensuring what’s designed works in the real world. This is a rare opportunity to shape how a network operates day-to-day, driving meaningful improvements in safety, efficiency, and performance.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead development and improvement of operational standards and practices
  • Strengthen works management, network access, and operational processes
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives that enhance safety and performance
  • Engage with stakeholders across Network Operations (The NOC), Field teams & Service Providers, Engineering, Planning, H&S, Risk & Compliance
  • Translate operational needs into clear, high-quality documentation
  • Support training, competency development, and knowledge sharing
  • Act as a trusted advisor on operational practices and best practice

Requirements:

  • Experience in an electricity distribution or utilities environment
  • A tertiary qualification or relevant experience producing technical papers and operating standards critical to network operations
  • Strong understanding of network operations and work practices
  • Proven ability to influence and engage across diverse teams
  • Excellent written communication skills (critical)
  • A practical mindset—balancing best practice with real-world application
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach to continuous improvement
What we offer:
  • Competitive total remuneration package
  • Flexible, supportive, safety-first culture
  • Genuine work-life balance and predictable hours
  • Based in Dunedin—coastline, character, and a family-friendly lifestyle
