Meridian is the largest producer of renewable electricity in Aotearoa and we strive to deliver clean energy for a fairer and healthier world. We only generate electricity from 100% renewable resources – wind, water and sun, because we believe that's the best way forward for our planet and our communities. And, we're doing what we can to help Aotearoa reduce their carbon emissions and support others in our generation communities to do the same. We also retail electricity to more than 365,000 homes, businesses and farms across New Zealand through our Meridian and Powershop brands.
What you'll be doingAs part of the People Operations team, you will be part of a transformation in how we support our people and people leaders across the entire employee lifecycle. With your business knowledge and commercial acumen, you will mentor and grow our people leaders on best practice, people policy, guidelines and processes to support their people in a dynamic environment. By lifting people leaders' overall capability, you'll enable them to manage effectively and increase levels of engagement, productivity and performance across the business.
In collaboration with our Strategic Business Partners, Organisational Development Team, Health and Safety Team, and Senior Wellbeing Partner this is a role which will see you consult and partner with leaders on ER issues, leadership and employee development, employee wellbeing, end to end change processes, remuneration, role design, and much, much more!
What you'll bringYou'll need to have at least a few years under your belt in a generalist HR role, with a solid understanding of NZ employment law and a decent amount of exposure and experience in employment relations and/or supporting change. Having a tertiary qualification in a related field would be good too (eg HR).
Along with the above, you'll need to be someone who is confident in forming and building strong business relationships and have the confidence to challenge and influence where appropriate. Because of the nature of the role, you'll also need to thrive on variety, multitasking, and above all be someone who can successfully work within the wider People Team and have fun while doing it!
Why Meridian?At Meridian, we value all people. We embrace different ways of thinking, living and working, because we believe diversity benefits us all. It makes our capabilities even stronger. We encourage all our people to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work and we're proud to have a diverse and inclusive workplace. So, no matter who you are, you'll find it a great place to work.
We value and live by three 'How to Be's': 'be gutsy', working together by 'being in the waka' and doing the right thing by 'being a good human'. We work hard and value the importance of connection and fun, whether this be through daily quizzes, morning teas, birthday and cultural celebrations both in person and virtually!
Sustainability sits firmly in our DNA both socially and environmentally. We proudly support KidsCan and the Kakapo Recovery and work side-by-side with our generation communities to empower and support projects where needed. There are many opportunities to volunteer to any of our partnerships throughout the year.
