Who are we?

At Meridian, we generate electricity from 100% renewable resources (wind power and hydro) and retail electricity to more than 390,000 customer connections including homes, businesses and farms in New Zealand and Australia. We’re committed to sustainability and are active in the community, proudly supporting KidsCan and the Kākāpō Recovery Program; among others.

Our purpose, our “why”— Clean Energy for a Fairer and Healthier World—is at the heart of our business, how we operate, and how we treat each other.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Wind team as our new Technical Writer. Our Wind technicians and engineers work in some pretty complex, hazardous environments so this is a key role where you’ll be writing up critical safety information, making sure that documentation is accurate and kept up to date.

The role – some of the cool stuff you will be doing

You’ll be responsible for gathering information and producing documents such as safety procedures, worksite safety plans, risk assessments, and technical references such as drawings, manuals and training materials.

If you don’t already have knowledge of safety engineering, you will learn quickly, and you will get to go out to our sites and experience it for yourself – so having the ability to climb up our turbines and work in confined spaces is definitely preferable!

You’ll also get to be part of helping with our content strategy and looking at ways of continuously improving our documentation practices at Meridian.

To be successful in this role you’ll need:

  • Demonstrated experience and/or qualification in technical writing/communication, backed up by engineering experience or background in industry
  • Solid knowledge of Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and the use of styles and templates
  • Knowledge of HTML, XML and CSS
  • It would help to have knowledge in a single-source authoring system such as Madcap Flare.

What do you get in return?

In addition to an attractive salary package, Meridian offers benefits that are about making life better and easier, for you and your family. You get a great diverse and inclusive working environment, opportunities for professional development, and a dynamic organisation to work for.
