Influence the decisions that shape it.\nWellington Electricity powers over 170,000 homes and businesses across the capital and is recognised as one of New Zealand’s most reliable electricity distribution companies.\nBehind that performance is a team of engineers who don’t just deliver work, they own asset performance, manage lifecycle risk, and make the calls that shape how the network evolves.\nWe’re hiring multiple Asset Engineers, each aligned to a core area of the network. While all roles sit within the same team and operate across the full asset lifecycle, each has a defined technical focus across distribution and sub-transmission assets including zone substations, transformers, switchgear, cables, protection systems, and overhead network infrastructure.\nWhere You Could Fit\nCAPEX & Investment\nYou focus on what gets built, when, and why.\nShape CAPEX programmes across network and substation asset fleets\n\nBuild investment cases using asset condition, risk modelling, and whole-of-life cost analysis\n\nSupport long-term asset strategies, load growth and capacity planning\n\nInfluence scope, standards, and delivery approach for major capital works\n\nEngineering Assurance & Standards\nYou act as a technical authority.\nProvide independent assurance across primary plant, protection schemes, and network designs\n\nOwn and evolve engineering standards, specifications, and technical governance frameworks\n\nEnsure compliance with regulatory requirements, industry standards, and safety obligations\n\nReview designs, settings, and documentation prior to construction and commissioning\n\nReliability & Performance\nYou focus on how the network actually performs.\nAnalyse fault data, asset health, and network performance trends across asset classes\n\nImprove SAIDI/SAIFI and quality of supply outcomes through targeted interventions\n\nLead root cause analysis, failure investigations, and defect elimination\n\nIdentify systemic risk, emerging failure modes, and reliability improvement opportunities\n\nOperations & Delivery Support\nYou work closest to the field and control room.\nProvide engineering input into fault response, switching, outages, and live network operations\n\nSupport delivery teams through works integration, commissioning, and asset acceptance\n\nEnsure assets are tested, compliant, and fit-for-service prior to energisation\n\nEnable safe, coordinated delivery across capital and maintenance programmes\n\nWhat Sits Across All Roles\nNo matter your focus, this is not a passive role. You are there to:\nApply engineering judgement to decisions involving asset risk, reliability, and lifecycle performance\n\nAct as a bridge between planning, delivery, operations, and asset management\n\nSupport maintenance, renewal, and replacement strategies across the network\n\nEnsure assets are safe, compliant, and performing as intended across their lifecycle\n\nTake ownership of outcomes - not just contribute to them\n\nWhat You’ll Bring\nExperience in electricity distribution or comparable high-voltage infrastructure environments\n\nStrong understanding of network engineering, asset management principles, and risk-based decision making\n\nExposure to protection systems, asset performance analysis, or technical assurance frameworks\n\nExperience working with asset data, condition monitoring, or maintenance strategies\n\nConfidence to challenge, influence, and make engineering calls\n\nAbility to collaborate across engineering, planning, and operational teams\n\nWhy Wellington Electricity\nThis is a high-trust, high-visibility environment.\nYou’re not buried in a large organisation - your work is visible, your input is valued, and your decisions matter. You’ll be part of a team that genuinely owns the network, not just supports it.\nBacked by a culture of we Work Together, we Own It, we Speak Up, you’ll be supported to bring your thinking forward and have an impact.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3876,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T15:11:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.198,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":125,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/paragon-people-asset-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/paragon-people-asset-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T07:36:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5084,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4416850},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4416850"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fparagon-people-asset-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fparagon-people-asset-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fparagon-people-asset-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/paragon-people-asset-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fparagon-people-asset-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2452477}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"paragonpeople.co","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2452477},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
