Full time, Permanent

3d ago , from Technical Recruitment Solutions

New Zealand Oil Services Limited (NZOSL) is a leader in bulk fuel handling and terminal operations. We ensure the safe and efficient transfer of liquid fuels (petrol, diesel, and aviation) from tankships to storage facilities at key regional locations across New Zealand. With over 25 years of experience, we are known for our technical expertise, proactive safety culture, and commitment to excellence.

We are looking for an Assets and Engineering Advisor to join our Wellington-based team to play a key role in supporting the delivery of the asset management program.

Reporting to the Assets Programme Manager you will work across the organisation, partnering with the Assets, Maintenance and Operations teams to ensure technical information, systems and processes are robust, accessible and fit for purpose.

Key Responsibilities

• Supporting delivery of the asset management and engineering programme
• Leading improvements to engineering processes, procedures, standards and systems
• Delivering engineering projects in the network of terminals
• Supporting assurance of safety-critical elements and controls
• Managing and closing out actions arising from audits, HAZOPs, safety reviews and incident investigations
• Developing and maintaining robust asset data, records and technical information
• Building strong relationships with internal teams, contractors and external stakeholders

What you will bring

Ideally you will be a tertiary-qualified engineer (Mechanical / Process / Chemical) with engineering or asset management experience, or an experienced operations professional looking to transition into a broader asset and engineering role. We are open to industry – oil and gas or energy, infrastructure or asset management, engineering consultancy, or terminal or industrial operations.

You will have a solid technical or operational foundation, be comfortable working with systems and data, and motivated to improve how things are done.

We are particularly interested in people who:

• Have an engineering degree with relevant experience, or a trade/technical background with significant operational experience
• Experience with asset management, engineering, maintenance, or operational environments.
• Can analyse problems, identify practical solutions and follow actions through to completion.
• Are confident working with systems, technical information and data.
• Communicate effectively with people across different levels and functions.
• Build strong working relationships and enjoy collaborating with others.
• Have a genuine commitment to safety, quality and continuous improvement.
• Are looking for an opportunity with strong potential for career development and progression.

Why join NZOSL?

This is a chance to join an organisation where you can make your mark. You will work alongside an experienced and highly engaged team, with the support and resources to deliver meaningful programmes of work. You will have direct access to leadership, genuine ownership of your responsibilities and the opportunity to shape systems and processes rather than simply inherit them.
