Consulting & Generalist HR (Human Resources & Recruitment) About EnergySmart: EnergySmart is one of the oldest and most respected companies of its kind in New Zealand. Since 1997, EnergySmart has delivered tens of thousands of insulation retrofits to New Zealand families and has been a major Service Provider for the Government funded insulation programmes. More recently, EnergySmart has expanded into Heat Pumps, EV car chargers and Ventilation and has expanded from retrofitting to new build construction. With New Zealand's climate change commitments fast approaching, EnergySmart's position as a leader in the field of home energy savings could not be more relevant. EnergySmart has always strived to be a great place to work and has attracted very good people who collectively can be credited for the company's success. The company values its employees as well as its customers, which is reflected in our drive to deliver value through industry-leading products, service, quality and price. A sound foundation of a rock-solid reputation, industry leading systems, highly capable management team, and enviable workplace culture has been laid and we find ourselves growing rapidly despite a challenging construction market.
