At Northpower, we don’t just keep the power on we keep communities connected, businesses running, and the lights burning bright across Aotearoa. Now we’re looking for a Line Mechanic who’s not only confident on the lines but also takes pride in doing things properly, safely, and with a strong sense of purpose.
If you’re someone who gets satisfaction from a job well done, who leads by example, and who wants to work with a crew that’s got your back this role is for you.

The Work You’ll Own:

This isn’t just a patch job. You’ll be out in the field making real, lasting contributions to the power network. From the installation and replacement of poles and overhead conductors, to maintaining and overhauling hardware up to 110kV, you’ll be trusted to get the job done safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.
You’ll also operate ground and structure mounted equipment up to 33kV and develop clear, practical work plans that keep everything moving  even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.

More Than the Tools You’re the Backbone of the Crew:

Yes, you’ll be on the tools but you’ll also be the steady hand your team relies on. You’ll provide day to day guidance, support, and hands on leadership, making sure the right people are in the right places, and the work is delivered to plan.You’ll also play a key role in linking the day to day grind with the bigger picture: safety, quality, customer satisfaction, and Northpower’s long term success.

Experience:

-Proven experience working on overhead lines and pole structures

-Strong understanding of electrical network construction and maintenance

-Confidence operating equipment up to 33kV

-A mindset that prioritises safety above all else — and the authority to stop work if something’s not right

-Leadership qualities — you're someone who steps up and sets the tone

-The ability to complete paperwork and reports accurately (we don’t love admin, but we know it matters)
