The future of home energy is electric. Be part of the team making it happen.
Across Aotearoa, more and more households are making the switch to cleaner, healthier, all-electric homes. At Sustainability Trust, we're proud to be helping lead that transition in the Wellington region.

This is an opportunity to work with home energy technologies that are reshaping the way we live, mentor the next generation of electricians, and be part of an organisation where your work delivers real benefits for people, communities and the climate.
Why join Sustainability Trust?
Most electrical companies install products. We help transform homes!
As a social enterprise, every surplus we earn is reinvested back into our community through programmes that tackle energy hardship, reduce waste and accelerate climate action.
Just as importantly, we're proud of the culture we've built. We work hard, support one another, celebrate success, invest in our people and genuinely care about making Sustainability Trust a great place to work. If you're looking for a workplace where your contribution is valued and your work has real purpose, you'll feel at home here.
