Whether you're an experienced inspector looking for your next challenge or you bring strong electrical know-how and a keen eye for detail, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Waipā Networks?

We're a community-owned electricity distribution business, supplying more than 60,000 people across Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Kawhia and surrounding rural, urban, and industrial areas.

The role

As our Asset Inspector, you'll be the eyes and ears of our network. From walking inspection routes to operating drones, you'll help identify issues before they become outages and play a proactive role in keeping the lights on across Waipā.

You'll:

  • Carry out ground and aerial inspections of poles, lines, substations, and other distribution assets
  • Operate drones to assess assets safely and efficiently
  • Identify and document defects, damage, and wear-and-tear
  • Support predictive maintenance programmes by recording and analysing data
  • Liaise with landowners, contractors, and internal teams to ensure inspection work runs smoothly
  • Occasionally perform minor repair (non-prescribed electrical works).

About you

You will have:

  • Ideally at least five years of hands-on experience within an electrical environment (HV distribution preferred)
  • Good physical fitness and the ability to work across a variety of terrains
