Te Tākinatanga | Our Story   

Ko tā Contact e whakapono nei, ko te taiao tonu te taonga nui katoa o te ao.

Koinei mātou e whai atu nei kia mahue atu i a mātou tētahi ao hauora ake, tēnā i te ora i kuhu ai mātou.

He pakihi whakarato hiko, ipurangi mātou, engari arā kē atu anō ā mātou taha.

Kei te whakawhanake mātou i ā mātou mahi ake, i ngā ara hoki e whai hiko ai a Aotearoa, kei te kōkiri kia tukua te hiko tukurua, ā, kei te whakaputa i tētahi wheako matihiko mō ā mātou kiritaki kāore anō kia kitea i tēnei whenua.

At Contact, we believe home is the most important place in the world. It's all part of our vision to leave Aotearoa better than we found it. We’re a power and broadband company, but we’re so much more than that. We are transforming the ways we mahi, and how Aotearoa is powered, leading the charge on renewable energy and digitising customer journeys in ways not yet seen here. A team of 1000 from all walks of life who love what we do, look out for each other, and learn from one another every day, we’re stoked to be guided by our tikanga: we touch lives to make life better.

Job Description

Kōrero mō te tūranga | About the role

This role is critical to anything happening technology-wise at Contact. Part of the Application Change Delivery (ACD) testing team that sits under our Customer Business Group, as a Senior Test Analyst you’ll be a gatekeeper for good technical things to be deployed into production, writing test cases, carrying out test execution, coaching and mentoring junior testers, and supporting testing related activities to help us deliver high quality software and solutions that are hugely beneficial to our customers.

We have a bunch of exciting projects underway and coming up for you to get stuck into. Most of these will be ICT projects, but you’ll also have the opportunity to support on our SAP side. Working closely with architects, business analysts, developers, SMEs, external vendors, and many internal stakeholders, you’ll play a key role in ensuring we deliver absolute business value, working on a mixture of projects from how customers pay bills to automated voice recording, digital customer portals, and more.

Qualifications

Ko wai koe | About you

With 5 years of testing experience working on large scale projects, you’re an all-rounder in all aspects of Infrastructure, Digital and Cloud Apps testing, with solid experience in SIT, system testing and E2E testing and a proven ability to work Agile. You can absorb technical information quickly and have a knack for explaining it to non-technical people. You thrive in fast-paced operational IT environments, love working in close-knit teams who actively collaborate across the business, and you’re not shy to ask for help when you need it (or to propose new approaches not yet considered by the team).

Analytical by nature, you’re proactive, delivery-focused, and eager to learn new things. Experienced in test estimation, requirements traceability, writing test cases, test plans, exit summary reports and coordination of UAT, you’re great with external vendors, have proven experience in various testing methodologies, and are looking now for a role where you can do all of that, enjoy a great team and perks, and be fully appreciated. (Spoiler alert: this is the one.)

Experience working SAP is preferred but not essential.

Additional Information

We support our people to work how, where and when works the best. Most of the ICT team are based in Wellington and enjoy a mix of home/office, so that would be the place to be if you’re into regular in-person team time, however this role can be fully remote and we’re open to applications from all over Aotearoa.

Contact is not a place you’ll stagnate. We are growing and offer superb learning and development opportunities along with a bunch of other perks like free health insurance cover, better-than-your-average leave, access to Contact Shares, a ‘Good to be Home’ annual payment toward your home set up & wellbeing, a trail-blazing parental leave policy, discounts on Contact Energy products, and more.

We have heaps on the go and are keen to welcome a new Test Analyst soon so if this sounds like a bit of you, apply now, or if there’s something you’re curious to know before making it official, contact Tash on [email protected].

Please note, only candidates with the right to live and work in New Zealand will be considered for this role.

Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet 60% of the criteria, women and those in underrepresented groups tend to only apply if they tick every box. We're not about box ticking, so if you think you have what it takes but don't meet everything stated above, please still get in touch. We'd love to kōrero.
