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.

Nelson–Tasman offers an outstanding lifestyle with golden beaches, national parks, and a strong sense of community. With plenty of outdoor activities and a more relaxed pace of life, it’s a great place to put down roots while continuing to build your trade career.

The role also includes assisting with overhead network work within your competencies and participating in an after‑hours faults roster when required.

You’ll be a reliable, safety‑focused tradesperson who takes pride in quality workmanship and works well as part of a team. You’re comfortable following procedures, communicating clearly on site, and delivering work to a high standard. This role will suit someone who enjoys varied work, takes ownership, and contributes positively to team culture.

What you’ll need to be successful:

• New Zealand EWRB Registration with a full Practising License as a Cable Jointer.
• Minimum 3+ years’ experience in cable installation, jointing and terminating.
• Experience with polymeric cables up to 11kV (higher voltage experience desirable).
