At Genesis, we’re always looking ahead - to new possibilities, smarter solutions, and a better energy future for Aotearoa New Zealand. Every role here plays a part in shaping what’s next, whether it’s through cutting-edge technology, bold thinking, or everyday excellence. If you’re driven by progress and inspired by purpose, this is your chance to be part of something remarkable. Step into a career where your actions today help power tomorrow.

What you’ll do:

At Genesis, we're leading some of the country's most exciting generation projects and we're looking for a Project Engineer to play a pivotal role in translating strategic plans into technical execution, overseeing engineering aspects across the pre-construction, construction, and post-construction phases.

Reporting to our Technical Manager - Asset Delivery, you'll be responsible for coordinating all technical aspects of utility scale renewables and BESS projects, from front end engineering through to operational handover. You'll work closely with project managers, engineers, consultants, and contractors to ensure technical requirements are well-defined, quality standards are met, and engineering risks are effectively managed. Whether it's contributing to design, overseeing construction quality, or ensuring smooth commissioning, you'll be at the centre of making it all happen.

Please note that this is an 18-month fixed term opportunity based at our Auckland or Hamilton office.

What you’ll need:

You're an experienced and driven engineer with a strong foundation in infrastructure or generation projects. You know what it takes to deliver complex technical workstreams, and you're equally comfortable getting into the detail and stepping back to see the big picture. With excellent coordination and communication skills, and an agile mind, you're passionate about achieving practical outcomes and ensuring the highest quality standards across the board in a dynamic environment.

What we're looking for:

• A tertiary qualification in engineering or a similar discipline
• 5+ years' engineering experience in infrastructure, power systems, or utilities sector
• 1-2+ years leading engineering activities on major generation or similar infrastructure projects
• Strong knowledge of construction, power generation technologies, and New Zealand's electricity industry
• Familiarity with technical contracts including consultancy, equipment supply, construction, D&C, and EPC models
• Bonus points if you also bring experience with renewable energy projects, commissioning of new generating plant, and Transpower grid-connection requirements.
