Senior Control & Protection Technician

Connetics Canterbury, New Zealand Full-time

Working in Australia and wondering about Christchurch? It's a good time to look.   

Christchurch is growing fast. New suburbs, a new stadium, and more load on the network every year. Someone has to make sure all that new infrastructure is safe to switch on. That's you. 

We're looking for an experienced Senior Control and Protection Technician. Years from now, you'll drive past a major piece of infrastructure, and know the protection inside it is yours. You tested it, you commissioned it, and it's still doing its job. 

About Connetics 

We're Connetics: about 400 people, publicly owned, and independently run. We're based in Christchurch and Tawa, and our reach is nationwide – wherever we're needed. 

You'll get the high-spec gear and big projects of a major network contractor, without the corporate red tape. Our crews know each other by first name, look out for one another, and take real pride in the craft. And our leaders trust you to make the call on site. 

You'll lead testing, commissioning, and fault-finding from our Christchurch depot. You'll own complex HV protection work, from zone substation schemes and secondary injection testing through to Tan Delta diagnostics. You'll also train the technicians coming through behind you. 

It's all happening in Canterbury. Be part of it at Connetics. 

At Connetics, we build and maintain the networks our communities depend on, day and night. Around 400 people work across Christchurch and Tawa, with crews travelling wherever the mahi takes us. Public ownership and independent management give you long-term security in an industry with a future. You’ll get the gear and project range of a major network contractor, with less red tape. One day might mean a residential job; the next, a major build in the high country. Your crew will look out for you and make sure everyone goes home healthy and safe. Our leaders will know your name and trust you to make the call on the job. If you’re honest, love to get stuck in and want recognised training with room to move up or sideways, you can build a whole career here. We set a high bar, and we’ll help you reach it.
