Base Power Works Delivery Lead
New Plymouth with flexible working options available
Permanent - Full-time
Do you want to play a leading, hands-on role in delivering renewable hybrid power solutions across New Zealand? We are looking for a passionate Base Power Works Delivery Lead to join us in working on ground breaking projects in some of the country’s most beautiful and remote areas. In this role, you are part of a market-driven product development team and have the opportunity to work on large-scale off-grid microgrid projects that drive sustainable energy access.
Base Power is a New Zealand-owned company specialising in the design, build, and installation of standalone solar-based hybrid power systems. Our innovative systems bring clean, reliable energy to remote locations, supporting communities, industries, and critical infrastructure across the country. We are committed to delivering sustainable solutions with a strong focus on quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.
What we offer you
Full-time personal use of an allocated Base Power vehicle.
Positive and supportive team culture and the opportunity to thrive in a genuinely caring and fun environment
Loads of flexibility – we embrace hybrid working, so if you’d like to work a few days a week from home (or the beach) – that’s fine by us
All the usual stuff, but way better – 4% KiwiSaver, ability to buy extra leave, paid volunteer days, free fruit in the office, amazing Parental Leave entitlements, free life and medical insurance – Wow!!!
As much growth and development as you can take! We are one of the top workplaces to grow your career (2026 LinkedIn Top Companies List for Aotearoa).
About the role
The Works Delivery Lead plays a hands-on leadership role, responsible for the successful coordination, commercial oversight, and physical delivery of Base Power’s standalone hybrid power systems. If you’re results-driven and have proven experience in installing, commissioning, and delivering PV solar system projects, this could be the perfect role for you. We’re looking for a highly organised professional who’s meticulous with technical, commercial, and project information, and who always keeps quality, safety, and client satisfaction at the forefront.
Reporting to the Base Power Business Manager, you will play a key role in planning projects, managing procurement and inventory, supervising site activities, and building strong client relationships. You’ll lead field operations, ensure compliance with regulatory standards, and champion continuous improvements to our systems and processes.
The role requires regular travel across New Zealand to project sites, including remote and rural locations.
To be a success in this role, you will need:
Strong knowledge of New Zealand electrical standards, building codes, and health and safety regulations
Ability to engage and quickly establish and maintain strong working relationships with a wide range of stakeholders
Demonstrated experience delivering PV solar system projects (design, installation, commissioning, and/or maintenance).
Experience with standalone, off-grid, hybrid solar systems or microgrids is highly desirable.
Registered New Zealand Electrician (current EWRB practising licence is essential)
It would ideal if you have:
Hands-on experience managing procurement, field teams, and remote project delivery.
Creativity and ability to solve problems in unconventional ways
Experience with project management software and tools
