The Top Energy Group operates throughout the Far North delivering geothermal electricity generation and electricity network operations. We are enabling Northland to contribute to the decarbonisation challenge by transforming the Top Energy Group into a technology-enabled energy company that generates and facilitates two-way energy flow between renewable energy generators and consumers.

About the role

As a Digital Systems Engineer, you'll design, build and own the infrastructure powering our IT and operational technology systems — from renewable generation and real-time control through to day-to-day operations. In a small, high-performing team, you'll have direct influence on the systems that keep the Far North's energy network running.

The role is based in Kerikeri and will report to the Digital Systems Manager.
