What We Are Looking For

We are on the hunt for people that could join us across a wide range of corporate finance roles.

Powerco’s strategic priority is sustainable growth providing today’s and tomorrow’s customers the solutions they will demand, and to drive New Zealand’s decarbonisation journey. It’s an inspiring time as we investigate a range of technical, commercial and market solutions for them and to meet our customers’ needs.

We are looking to build our financial and commercial capabilities to support this growth, so whether you’ve got experience in corporate modelling, valuations, building business cases, or treasury, financial, investment and business development analysis we’d love to hear from you.

Powerco prides itself on being a workplace where people can bring their best selves to work. Our leadership expectations are to provide teams with a supportive and high-performance work environment. We have beautiful offices, flexible working, generous benefits like full health and life insurance, extensive wellbeing support including health checks, mole mapping, and development coaching and assessments to help drive your career. We are also based primarily in the regions where the cost and ease of living and the short daily commute are real draw cards.

About You

You may well be very happy in your current role and not even looking for your next move, but we reckon it’s worth you having a look at what we have to offer.

We are less hung up on your qualifications and more interested in what experience you have, whether you’ve advanced financial modelling skills; managed financial modelling, analyst or investment teams; worked in treasury functions or advisory; been a regulatory analyst or working up business development opportunities, we’d love to hear form you. There’s nothing to lose in expressing interest – we don’t need a hefty application or cover letter, just fire us your CV indicating the experience you have and strengths you’d bring.

Skills & Experience

We are open to a range of skills and experience although ideally you will have:

• a qualification or experience in commercial or finance roles
• excellent communication and relationship skills
• a growth mindset and desire to thrive in a team environment.

Our Investment In You

At Powerco we focus on growing talent and providing opportunities to develop through a technical or leadership pathway. We believe, we are better together. We offer:

• Loads of flexibility – we believe in a mix between home and office (our offices are so nice you might prefer them though!) and are open to flexible working hours
• All the usual stuff, but way better – 4% Kiwi Saver, ability to buy extra leave, paid volunteer days, amazing Parental Leave entitlements for mothers and fathers, free Life and Medical Insurance – the list goes on
• As much development as you can handle! Whether it’s professional development, on the job learning and leadership development – it’s all on offer.
• Remuneration for these roles ranges from $110K – $180K dependent on experience and role type. We commit to remuneration transparency on position in range for these roles so you know where you’re at and where you can get to next.

About Powerco

We serve over 900,000 customers from the Coromandel Peninsula to Taranaki and through to Wellington. Not only are we New Zealand’s largest electricity network by geographic area, and second-largest gas company by number of customers, we’re also one of only three dual-energy distributors in the country. The energy distribution industry is undergoing a significant strategic change and we’re proud to say that Powerco is at the forefront of this change. We have always worked closely with our retailers and now we’re focusing on working closely with our customers too.

You’re probably aware that we’re a big company but the best thing is we don’t act like it. This means you get the best of both worlds – your career fast-tracked in an organisation that is willing to put their time and money into your continuous development, but also a company that’s loyal and has a huge amount of respect for their people and isn’t shy to show it.

Are you ready to step into an industry that’s on the cusp of great change and keep our customers happy doing what you do best?
