If you are an Industrial Electrician with good fault finding skills, and can program a PLC or SCADA systerm, this could be for you!

Ideally we are looking for someone with an electrical registration and background who is savvvy on industrial controls but can still legally do some prescribed electrical work as needed. 

What does a typical day look like?
You will be working in these technical areas: industrial electrical, controls (PLC’s, RTU’s & SCADA), radio (UHF & Digital), telemetry networks, controls panels, VSDs, instrumentation calibration (e.g. flow meters, chlorine & pH analysers, level and pressure sensors etc.)
This will be a mix of operations, maintenance, and project work supporting water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, and water pump stations.
You will work in a small team who will support you and electrical and controls contractors are there to support and help implement project work too.

Who might this job be for? Perhaps you are an Industrial Electrician with a contractor and currently have a small amount of exposure to this sort of equipment on some jobs. This could attract you if you want to see a project from start to finish, have a full understanding of the electrical and controls assets, and ensure the whole network of assets runs well.
 
Work/Lifestyle Balance: Working on different sites sometimes at odd hours as a contractor until it is finished could contrast to this role, which is a cruiser lifestyle, typically working between 7:30 am and 4 pm, leaving a job for the following day is less of an issue, and if you live close to this fixed place of work you could have only a short commute.
 
The Kapiti Coast does offer a relaxed lifestyle, with easy access to the beach, in reach of Wellington if you need your city fix, and there is a nicer climate here than Wellington, its warmer with more sun AND less wind on the whole.
 
On-Call: This is a 1 in 3 week rotation between the team members. This may be increased to 1 in 4 in time too.
Typically, you won’t go to site much, only a handful of times a year.
Most of it is just alarm administration, where you will get a text alert, log-in to the SCADA system, and then decide what action (if any is needed).
 
I can provide more job brief information and a position description to relevant applicants.
