Play a key role in future-proofing and maintaining our assets.
Lead and take ownership of strategic, high-impact projects.
A dynamic role offering real scope and continuous development opportunities.

Genesis Energy is one of New Zealand's leading energy retailers, supplying electricity, natural gas and LPG to more than half a million customers across the country and providing almost 20% of New Zealand's electricity. We want to be New Zealander's first choice for energy management, striving to deliver new products and services, challenge the status quo, be bold and innovative and take responsibility for our customers and what matters to them.
To ensure we are operating as efficiently and safety as possible, outages are a critical component of our operational business, to ensure our assets are future proofed, maintained and updated appropriately. The success of an outage stems from the success of the planning and collaboration of the staff involved, to minimise disruption in operations, while seamlessly working with budgets and agreed timelines. The team are experienced, and passionate about all thing's generation, and are now looking for a like-minded individual to join the centrally located crew.
About the role:
In this business-critical role reporting to the Outage & Projects Manager you will take ownership and accountability for strategically planning, coordinating, and leading the delivery of complex project and outage workstreams across the Genesis generation portfolio, leading the interaction between stakeholders to ensure optimal outage delivery in line with outage KPIs and business objectives. This role will provide plenty of variety across our sites, both in the nature and scale of the outage. Key responsibilities include:

Manage and coordinate large-scale capital investment project programmes across the generation portfolio.
Lead project and outage management functions across multiple parallel project and maintenance workstreams.
Lead the development of detailed outage plans.
Engage effectively with key stakeholders to ensure all outages are suitably governed, resourced, funded, and scheduled.
Engage with the Outage Programme Manager to optimise the generation outage programme and provide cover for this role when required.

About you:
The team are small and hard-working and rely on each other to get the job done. You will need to be an effective communicator, who can collaborate across all levels, while forming long-lasting trusted relationships with stakeholders. You will need to be able to mitigate risk, with an eye for detail, while also having commercial acumen to align with long-term strategies.

5+ years' experience in a heavy industrial / process environment.
Complex project management experience.
Sound understanding of generation plant systems and processes.
High level of experience in data management using Microsoft Applications Word, Excel, and Project.
Ideally have had some exposure to major outage/shutdown activities.
Tertiary level engineering qualification or Advanced Trade Certificate.

Please note, in order to provide flexibility for both the team and the required workstreams, we can only accommodate this role to be based out of Hamilton.
Our culture:
At Genesis, we offer our staff a strong remuneration and benefits package, a collaborative, fun culture, and ongoing development opportunities. You will work in a dynamic, close-knit environment, under supportive management, with a real opportunity to learn from some industry experts. Join a dynamic team that champions growth, with continuous learning and development opportunities,
