He korero mo maatou! - About Us!

We are made up of four complementary companies – Firstgas, Gas Services NZ, Flexgas and Rockgas.  The names say it all, we’re in the business of ‘gas’.  More specifically, we own and operate the pipes, storage, tanks, cylinders and trucks that deliver natural gas or LPG to about 165,000 customers across the country. We’re also about the future – exploring alternative energy sources that are sustainable, environmentally friendly and deliver to New Zealand’s energy needs in a changing world.

We are committed to creating a diverse workforce that reflects our society and a culture where people can bring their whole and best selves to work.  Our aim is to foster an inclusive culture which supports innovation by encouraging diversity of thought to come up with new ideas, make better decisions and ultimately become a more successful business.

Our Rockgas business is getting set to undergo a substantial revitalization programme of its core operational systems and processes.  To ensure it's success we're looking for a Change Manager to support our people through this transition.  Applying a people-centric approach to ensure everyone is engaged and there's no surprises.  

This is a substantial piece work, requiring a fixed term skill set for two years that can either be based in our Bell Block, Christchurch or Wellington office.
