Contact Energy is seeking a Turnaround Coordinator, Master Data, based at Wairakei to unify plans, schedules and SAP data for geothermal turnarounds. You’ll ensure the work is properly scoped, resourced and ready to execute.
You will work closely with Turnaround, Maintenance, Operations, Projects and Reservoir teams to create one clear picture of what needs to happen, when, and by whom, driving safety and efficiency.
At Contact, we’re working to build a better Aotearoa through smarter, more sustainable energy. Our geothermal operations are a big part of that story, generating renewable energy from the heart of the central North Island and helping keep the lights on for homes and businesses across the motu.
Our Geothermal Turnaround team plays a critical role in keeping those operations running safely, reliably and efficiently. They bring together people from across Maintenance, Operations, Projects, Reservoir and our contractor partners to plan and deliver complex turnarounds across our geothermal assets. It’s detailed, highly coordinated mahi, where great planning, accurate information and strong relationships can make a huge difference. If you enjoy being part of the team that brings all those moving pieces together, you’ll feel right at home here.
As our Turnaround Coordinator, Master Data, you’ll sit right at the centre of planning our geothermal turnarounds. Based at Wairakei, you’ll bring together people, plans, schedules and SAP data to help make sure the mahi is properly scoped, resourced and ready to go well before execution begins. You’ll work closely with our Turnaround, Maintenance, Operations, Projects and Reservoir teams, as well as third‑party scheduling partners, creating one clear picture of what needs to happen, when, and by whom.
There’s real variety here. One day you might be working through SAP plant maintenance data and auditing work orders, the next you could be challenging a critical path, coordinating scheduling resources or working through late and emerging work with the wider team. You’ll help drive consistency in how we plan, schedule and manage turnaround work, while keeping safety, efficiency, quality and cost front of mind. Ultimately, your mahi will help our teams head into each turnaround with confidence, knowing the detail has been thought through and the plan is ready to deliver.
You’re someone who enjoys making complex things simpler. You can see the detail without losing sight of the bigger picture, you’re comfortable bringing different groups together, and you’re confident enough to challenge a plan when something doesn’t quite stack up. You’ll ideally bring significant planning and scheduling experience from power generation, heavy industry, process plant or another complex maintenance environment, along with a strong understanding of SAP plant maintenance and what good turnaround or outage planning looks like.
For this one, proven experience developing and delivering detailed maintenance plans and schedules is important, as is practical knowledge of plant maintenance or operations and the ability to build strong relationships across technical and operational teams. Experience around mechanical plant, rotating equipment, electrical plant, control and protection systems or steam turbines would be a real advantage, as would inventory management or contract supervision experience, but we’re not expecting you to arrive knowing absolutely everything. If you’ve built your career around shutdowns, outages, maintenance planning or complex industrial scheduling, you’re analytical, organised and good with people, we’d absolutely encourage you to apply.

We use employee insights to offer a range of initiatives and resources to support physical, mental, financial and emotional wellbeing – including flexible working arrangements, employee network groups and a market-leading parental leave policy.
