Energy Analyst (6 months)

Kōrero mō te tūranga | About the role

This is a 6-month fixed term opportunity, covering a secondment, where you’ll step into the heart of the Market Strategy & Portfolio team as an Energy Analyst.

Ideally based in Wellington, and reporting to the Market Strategy & Portfolio Manager (who’s been here yonks and is a good sort), you’ll work across short to mid-term portfolio strategy, real-time trading support, and fuel management activities – helping ensure decisions are informed, timely, and commercially sound.

Your work will span analysis, interpretation, and action. You’ll:

• Develop and maintain short-term electricity and gas strategies, constantly scanning the market for risks and opportunities
• Provide real-time guidance and decision support to trading teams, especially during dynamic or high-pressure events
• Contribute to mid-term portfolio optimisation – from reservoir management through to broader portfolio decisions
• Execute operational activities including gas nominations and short-term trading actions
• Work closely with internal stakeholders to ensure strategy reflects both short-term realities and longer-term trade-offs
• Reflect on performance and continuously improve systems, processes, and outcomes

This is a role where you’ll use data to tell a clear, compelling story – turning complexity into insight, and insight into action.

Note that there is an on-call component in this job which requires you to be on-call one week in every 4 weeks.
