Join the Clarus crew and fill your workday with good energy, great people and a ton of awesome perks.

Mātau roopu ake (About us)

At Clarus you’ll be part of the talented, hardworking team who help safely deliver the vital energy New Zealand needs to thrive today and in the future. We began in Taranaki, but our Rockgas, Firstgas, Firstlight, First Renewables, Flexgas and Gas Service NZ operations now span the length and breadth of Aotearoa — so you’re never far away from our good energy. Clarus is investing in opportunities to develop greener alternatives to natural gas and LPG - like partnering with Ecogas to deliver New Zealand’s first renewable biomethane project, and working with other gas distributors to trial hydrogen blending. We care about the communities where we live and work and are guided by principles of inclusiveness, kaitiakitanga and excellence.

Job Description

We're looking towards the future ...

We are looking for an engineering student to join the Future Fuels team within Clarus this summer, to work on our low emissions future. Our Future Fuels team is responsible for originating, developing and supporting the execution of projects in the emerging biomethane space as well as executing on a roadmap of activities towards the transition to hydrogen use in the pipeline network. We’re also developing one of New Zealand’s largest solar projects.

Given the fast-moving and dynamic nature of our work it is not possible to fully define the project yet. What you can expect is that you will work on a project which is engaging and challenging and get to provide meaningful input to the problems and projects the team are working on at the time. Right now, we’re in the final stages of building New Zealand’s first biogas to pipeline project, turning food waste in to pipeline delivered biomethane. Whatever project you work on, what is certain is that you will be directly contributing to the pursuit of decarbonising New Zealand’s gas network.

As well as being part of an exciting project that delivers value, you'll also be earning the living wage and working alongside our talented team in Bell Block.

This role is more than just an internship - expect to get out and about in the field, have access to support that will grow you both personally and professionally, as well as contribute to community initiatives that we support.

Qualifications

To be successful in this summer role you'll need:

• To be studying towards your Engineering degree (mechanical or other disciplines) - 3rd year+.
• A motivated problem solver.
• An eagerness to develop and learn (and teach us a thing or two along the way).
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate in a team and work independently.
• good written and oral communications skills
