Job description

Technology Lead (Hands-On | Utilities / Energy)

Unique blend of strategy + sleeves-rolled-up delivery

Are you the kind of technology leader who enjoys solving complex problems, lifting capability and building practical, scalable systems in a growing business? Do you like the variety of influencing at the executive level while still being close enough to the work to make a real impact?

This is a rare opportunity to step into a evolving role within a fast-moving, future-focused energy company operating at the intersection of renewables, operational technology and large-scale customer systems .

We're looking for a hands‑on tech all‑rounder — someone confident across infrastructure, cybersecurity, applications, vendor management and system architecture. If you enjoy variety, complexity and creating order out of chaos, this will appeal.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be the go‑to person for everything ICT—strategy, delivery, operations, and improvement. Expect to work across :

  • Technology roadmap & systems thinking — Helping shape a future‑ready ICT environment as the company scales rapidly.
  • Cybersecurity uplift — Moving the organisation toward stronger maturity across both IT and OT environments.
  • Vendor‑led delivery — Working with external partners for infrastructure, support, SaaS, and project delivery.
  • Operational technology (OT) — Supporting connectivity and integration between corporate systems and field assets.

This is not a “sit back and direct” role — you'll get involved, make decisions, fix things, and create the path forward.

What You’ll Bring

  • 8–10+ years in ICT delivery, architecture, or systems leadership roles
  • Experience in utilities, energy, telcos or complex operational environments
  • Strength in vendor management rather than large internal teams
  • Cybersecurity understanding and resilience mindset
  • Ability to stabilise environments, improve processes, and build pragmatic governance
  • Comfortable getting hands‑on when needed
  • Strong EQ — able to work well with operations, engineering, retail, and senior leaders
  • Why This Role Is Different

  • Real impact on systems, customers, and NZ’s renewable energy journey
  • You’ll influence technology direction across corporate, digital and operational environments
  • Small internal team environment = big scope, real ownership
  • Great for someone who loves breadth , not just depth
  • Opportunity to shape a growing energy business entering mass market retail
  • How to Apply

    If you thrive in roles where every day is different, where you can both design and deliver, and where your work has real business impact, we’d love to hear from you.

    Apply now or reach out for a confidential chat.

    PLEASE NOTE- THIS ROLE IS ONLY OPEN TO CANDIDATES WHO HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO WORK IN NZ
