Job Description He mea whakamiharo koe Systems Controller - Scheduler? (Are you an amazing Systems Controller - Scheduler?)

We’re looking for a talented professional to join our Systems Operations team in Bell Block. This role is part of a small team who support the safe, reliable and efficient operation of Clarus assets.

This isn’t a traditional work scheduling role - it’s about helping manage the day-to-day commercial operation of our energy assets, working with customers and our Control Room, managing gas nominations and operational data, and responding when things don’t go to plan.

You can expect to:

• manage customer nominations and support system balancing, capacity, outages and curtailments
• work closely with our Control Room and Commercial teams to help keep operations running smoothly
• monitor operational information and trends, spotting potential issues and escalating them early
• collect, check and manage metering, nomination and storage data
• investigate missing or unusual data and work with others to resolve issues
• communicate with customers and internal teams
• work with systems including OATIS, BGIX, SCADA, the Ahuroa Nominations Tool and metering data systems
• support our response during critical contingency and emergency situations.

This role is part of an on-call out of hours roster.

Qualifications He aha tāu e kawe mai (What you will bring)

You don’t need to arrive knowing everything about gas transmission and storage. What matters is that you’re comfortable working with information and numbers, can think clearly, communicate well and know when something needs attention.

You could be a great fit if you bring:

• around three years’ work experience, ideally in the energy sector or in a role involving significant amounts of data
• good numerical, analytical and data-processing skills
• strong organisation and time-management skills
• the ability to interpret detailed information, processes or commercial agreements
• good communication skills and the confidence to build relationships with customers and stakeholders
• a proactive approach and sound judgement about when to act or escalate
• a collaborative mindset and willingness to work as part of a job-share or shift rotation arrangement.
