About the team
Transpower's Grid Development division works to identify grid needs for the next 30 years. The Asset Planning team of thirty-five people across six teams are responsible for the management of assets within specific asset portfolios.

This includes replacement and refurbishment base CAPEX budget of approximately $300m across each five-year RCP, as well as maintenance OPEX of $10m per annum (determined annually based on need), and enhancement and development base CAPEX of approximately $18m across each RCP.

As a member of our Asset Planning Group Leadership team, you'll support the Group Manager with leadership, development, and delivery of continuous improvement initiatives and training as the need arises.
