We have a clear purpose: Powering better journeys, today and tomorrow.
This sentence captures Z’s essence as an energy company – the enabler of journeys for our customers and communities.
'Our Why' is Z’s foundation document, outlining the things that Z stands for — our brand, our stands and our vision, values and strategy. It outlines the choices that people make in coming to work for Z.
As our world changes so to does Our Why, we review and update to reflect how we wish to operate, behave, support and engage in our communities based on the changing times we live in.

Tū Kotahi | Side by side - We believe learning and growing together delivers unlimited potential.
Our People
Our people are not only all unique, we’re also in a bunch of different roles across Z. The common denominator, however, is that we’re all passionate about what we do! We work hard to reach our goals, and we have fun along the way.
We're proud that our eNPS (employee engagement) score puts us in Peakon Employment Voice's Top 10%. We reckon our people really love the part they play in making Z a successful, extraordinary place to work.
After applications close, we will review them and be in touch with an outcome.
For our successful candidates, we will invite you to have an initial conversation and complete psychometric testing. Psychometric testing looks at both your abilities and working styles and preferences.
From there, in August we will bring a group of candidates to our head office, the Z Shed on Wellington's beautiful waterfront for an interview and assessment day. You will meet with members of our People & Culture team, some of our Senior Leaders, Executive team and Graduate mentors.
This day will include an interview and practical team exercises.
Following this we will make you an offer to join us and complete the last couple of checks (references and a background check).
Before you start at Z we will take you through our online onboarding process and stay connected with you through email, phone and in person connection.
Our Benefits
Let’s be straight up – money is important when you’re making a decision about where to work. At Z we believe in rewarding people for extraordinary performance.
Some of the great benefits we offer:
Your learning, growth and development is important to us with a vision that our people’s work environment is more closely experienced as personal growth rather than ‘just work’. We've got dedicated leadership programmes at all levels across Z.
We provide support to help you go after what matters to you. When we talk about leadership, we don’t mean, “Are you in a leadership role?” We mean, do you make things happen? Act as one team? Inspire others? If yes, then Z may be just the place for you.
You will be able to build your own capability through learning from some of the industry’s most knowledgeable people who have a desire to share their insights.
Being a graduate at Z will see you supported within a cohort of early in career Z’ers, you will rotate across various business units over the two-year program gaining broad exposure and a diverse skill set. You will be paired up with a buddy, have access to a Mentor as well as enjoy time with our Senior Leaders.
