As our GIS Analyst, you’ll turn spatial data into clear insights that support network planning, asset management and field operations. Your work will help shape decisions that keep our community across the Waipā district powered and connected.

We’re a trusted, community‑owned electricity distribution business, supplying power across Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Kāwhia and the wider Waipā district.

• Creating maps, dashboards and reports that clearly communicate results
• Developing and automating GIS workflows using Python, FME and ArcGIS tools
• Supporting field teams through GIS mobile apps and data collection
• Integrating GIS solutions into wider business processes
• Staying up to date with GIS technology and best practice.

You bring strong technical skills, a practical mindset and a genuine desire to keep learning. You enjoy working with others and understand how good data supports better outcomes for the Waipā district.

• A tertiary qualification in GIS, Engineering, Geography, Surveying, IT or a related field
• Three to five years’ GIS experience, ideally within utilities or infrastructure
• Proven experience with the ESRI stack, including ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Pro, Field Maps and Survey123

• Experience managing as‑built information, asset data and geospatial analysis to support network planning or optimisation
• Clear communication skills, strong attention to detail and a collaborative approach.

We run a structured, in‑house recruitment process, including pre‑employment vetting. You’ll need the right to work permanently in Aotearoa New Zealand and be currently living here. #J-18808-Ljbffr
