EA Networks is maintaining a resilient electricity and fibre network while supporting the local economy and

community. For more information about the company visit our website.

The Role:
We are looking for a solutions-focused Work Planning and Coordination professional to join EA Networks and support

the successful delivery of our field work programme. Working across our Contracting and Network teams, you will

coordinate forward planning, maintain visibility of upcoming work, and help ensure the right people, resources and

information are in place for delivery. You will identify constraints early, keep schedules current, and work collaboratively

with internal teams and approved external service providers, in line with established processes and priorities.

Got what it takes?

• Strong experience in planning, scheduling coordination or project support, preferably within an electricity

distribution environment.

• Good understanding of network construction, maintenance and customer-driven work.

• Strong organisational, communication and relationship-building skills.

• Proactive, practical and confident managing competing priorities and risks.

• Confident using digital planning and scheduling systems, with a strong attention to detail.

• Full New Zealand Class 1 Drivers Licence.

On Offer:
We prioritise providing our people with the best possible experience. In addition to a great workplace, we operate a

strong reliable network and have modern, well-maintained vehicles and gear. Our employee benefits scheme offers

rewards and benefits to help cover life’s costs and support personal wellbeing. We also offer competitive remuneration

plus enhanced annual leave benefits, and a paid day off during the month of your birthday. We have an active Social

Club with activities throughout the year, discounted gym/fitness centre memberships, an expansive break room and

on-site parking. As part of our hybrid working approach, and after a qualifying period, employees can apply to enjoy a

Nine-Day Fortnight or access to a newly established satellite office in Islington, Christchurch. You’ll get to work with

like-minded people who are passionate about keeping the lights and internet on throughout the Ashburton District.

Being a part of the Ashburton District means you’re a part of a strong supportive community with a great semi-rural

lifestyle. With a variety of local dining and services, and excellent skiing, hunting, tramping and fishing spots nearby,

you’ll be spoiled for choice. As it’s only a 60-minute drive from Christchurch, it doesn’t take long to experience city life,

while our newly established satellite office in Islington, Christchurch provides another connection point. A Mid-

Canterbury relocation package will be considered for the right applicant.
