Cromwell offers a fantastic lifestyle, combining stunning Central Otago landscapes with a close‑knit community and easy access to outdoor adventures year‑round. Enjoy a relaxed pace of life with vineyards, lakes, and mountain trails on your doorstep, while still being well connected to regional hubs. It’s an ideal place to live, work, and build a long‑term career, offering an opportunity to transition off the tools while continuing to use your technical expertise in a valuable, lower‑impact role.
As an Asset Inspector, you’ll play a key role in the inspection and basic testing of electricity network assets across the Central Distribution network. This hands‑on role involves carrying out scheduled and ad‑hoc inspections, completing electronic reports, and providing clear feedback on asset condition to support safe and reliable network operations. You’ll work closely with operational teams while maintaining strong health and safety standards.
We’re looking for a practical, detail‑focused individual who enjoys working independently in the field and takes pride in doing work the right way. You’ll be comfortable working to schedules, using technology for reporting, and communicating clearly with internal teams and external stakeholders. This role would suit someone with experience in asset inspection or electrical distribution who values safety, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
