Renewable energy utility serving 520k+ NZ customers across electricity, gas, and solar
Genesis operates New Zealand's largest integrated energy retailer and generator, serving over 520,000 residential and business customers. The tech stack—Python, SQL, R, Java, Power BI, RPA—reflects a utility grappling with operational scale and automation: heavy reliance on Excel and Power BI suggests analytics work remains partially manual, while RPA adoption signals active effort to strip repetitive processes out of energy trading, billing, and compliance workflows. Hiring is engineering-heavy and accelerating, concentrated in senior and manager roles, aligned to their Gen35 capital program (renewable generation build-out and battery storage projects).
