POWER UP YOUR CAREER IN GENERATION

At Mercury, we're helping build a more secure and sustainable energy future for Aotearoa New Zealand.

Guided by our purpose, Tiakina te anamata, mā te tūhono i ngā tāngata me ngā wāhi o te inamata - taking care of tomorrow by connecting people and place today - we're investing in renewable energy, infrastructure and capability that will create value for generations to come.

Our people are central to that ambition.

We foster a high-performing, future-focused culture where innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement help us deliver operational excellence and strengthen the resilience of New Zealand's energy system.

Our Generation team plays a role in safely and reliably delivering renewable electricity through a focus on asset performance, reliability engineering and maintenance excellence.


As Mercury continues to invest in and grow its renewable generation portfolio, our people are helping power New Zealand's transition to a low-carbon economy.

With nine hydro power stations and eight hydro dams on the Waikato River, five geothermal power stations in the Central North Island, and some of New Zealand's largest wind farms, Mercury offers diverse career pathways and opportunities to develop expertise across the full spectrum of renewable generation.

We're delivering one of the country's most significant renewable energy investment programmes, with major projects underway that are increasing generation capacity, strengthening energy security and supporting New Zealand's economic growth and decarbonisation journey.
