Unless you’re a citizen or permanent resident of New Zealand or Australia you will need a work visa.
We’re an Immigration New Zealand Accredited Employer. Once you receive a job offer you can apply for your visa which means we can hire professionals from overseas who are under 55 years of age at the time of applying, through the Work to Resident Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa.
This scheme enables you to work here for two years, after which time you can seek permanent residence. What’s more, your partner can apply for a work permit and/or visa without the need for a job offer. Your school aged children can go to school as 'domestic' fee paying students here in New Zealand.
We provide financial relocation assistance as well as helping you settle in to your new life in New Zealand as soon as you arrive.
New Zealand is perfect for families and individuals wanting the best that life has to offer.
New Zealanders are welcoming, our education and health systems are world-class, fruit and vegetables grown from home, and children playing sport outside on real grass is a part of daily life in New Zealand.
You can find out more about life here, our education, health and tax systems and a lot more at Immigration New Zealand’s website New Zealand Now.

Connetics build and maintain substations, overhead and underground lines and associated distribution network equipment. We also provide engineering design and consultancy services. Put more simply, we keep the power on 24/7.
But it isn’t what we do that sets us apart, it’s how we do it.
Our safety vision is that we are a place that is actually safe, and we have the courage and openness to achieve this. Our work philosophy is “Connetics Differently”, where we focus on understanding work and creating the environment where work is actually safe. Our Health and Safety Committee and Work Improvement Teams, comprising of frontline staff, meet regularly to discuss how work is going and explore ways of doing things differently, more effectively, more safely. From the chief executive to the newest apprentice we’re one team and relationships are based on mutual respect. We’re honest and open to the ideas of others and we’re all on a first-name basis.
If you have the professional experience, qualifications, English communication skills, energy and focus on safety to make a positive contribution, and you want to take advantage of all that New Zealand has to offer, then Connetics could be perfect for you.
