Descripción del empleo

Fluid Recruitment is proud to exclusively partner with Mercury in search of its Specialist Asset Strategy Engineer located in Hamilton, Auckland, Tauranga or Rotorua.

The Role

Combining strategic commercial insight with your technical background, this is an exciting opportunity to ensure that asset investment decisions maximise long-term value, reliability and operational efficiency across a large and varied asset base - including hydro, wind and geothermal generation.

Working closely with the Asset Strategy Manager and supporting others in the team, you will play a key role in analysing complex asset data, evaluating investment options and providing robust, evidence-based insights that underpin strategic capital allocation decisions across Mercury's generation portfolio. You will also contribute to the development and improvement of asset lifecycle models, analytical tools and prioritisation methodologies, strengthening Mercury's approach to long‑term asset planning, risk management and investment decision-making.

About You

Located in either Hamilton, Auckland, Tauranga or Rotorua you will thrive working as part of a geographically dispersed team, one that works with ownership and autonomy, yet collaboratively.

With a technical background (ideally in engineering), you could come from a range of industries where asset performance is key. This will see you bringing experience in investment analysis, cost/benefit studies and / or financial modelling related to asset investment and resource allocation. Working alongside a range of stakeholders at various levels, developing effective business cases and strategies that get buy in from the broader business will also put you in good stead.

Your demonstrated experience will ideally be backed by a tertiary qualification related to Engineering while additional qualifications related to Commerce (Finance or Economics), Mathematics and / or Statistics would be highly advantageous.

The Opportunity

Supported by a number of subject matter experts in engineering, projects, operations and commercial, this is an exciting opportunity to be part of the ever-growing energy sector. Joining an industry leader, you'll play a key role in developing the long‑term strategic direction for key infrastructure throughout the Waikato and Bay of Plenty region.

Our Asset Strategy team values people who are curious, analytical and willing to challenge conventional thinking. We work with complex decisions where there is rarely a perfect answer, and where balancing competing priorities requires sound judgement, collaboration and the confidence to ask difficult questions. If you enjoy looking beyond the immediate problem to understand the bigger picture, you'll find plenty of opportunity to make a meaningful contribution.

Mercury is a diverse and inclusive company that recognises unique abilities and talent with excellent career pathway opportunities along with long‑term professional development.

Joining a social team and flexible work environment, a competitive remuneration package is on offer. This includes:

• 5 additional days of leave
• Life and income protection insurance
• Employee share scheme
• Discounted energy and telco rates
• $400 one off tax‑free home office set up payment
• Additional parental leave
• Free flu-jabs, annual medical checkup subsidy, confidential assistance programme, discounts on dentists, gyms, and other local businesses
• Gender affirmation leave
• An employee community fund
