Delta is your smart thinking infrastructure specialist. We construct, manage, and maintain essential energy and environmental infrastructure. Every day we make a difference in the lives of New Zealanders. We make communities better for people to live, work and play in - keeping the lights on, the trees trimmed and the parks green.

Join Delta’s Power and Communication Services team and play a hands-on role in keeping our communities connected. Based in Alexandra, you’ll work on the construction and maintenance of overhead distribution networks, tackling varied and challenging work in the field alongside a supportive crew. This is a role for someone who enjoys practical, outdoor work and takes pride in doing the job safely and to a high standard.

From HV switching and fault response to pole erection and conductor stringing, no two days are the same. You’ll work closely with Team Leaders and peers, follow industry best practice, and contribute to a strong safety-first culture. If you’re motivated, reliable, and keen to grow your skills while working on essential infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you.
