About Us:

EA Networks is a cooperative network company based in Mid Canterbury. It owns and operates the region’s electricity distribution network, as well as an advanced fibre optic communications network. Being locally owned and operated means EA Networks and its 130 staff have strong ties with the community that they work and live in. The core focus for EA Networks is maintaining a resilient electricity and fibre network while supporting the local economy and community.

The Role:

We’re looking for an experienced and solutions-focused ERP Application Analyst to help maximise business value from EA Networks’ ERP ecosystem, including Microsoft Business Central, associated applications, integrations, reporting platforms, and future ERP initiatives. Acting as our internal ERP subject matter expert and business representative, you’ll support implementation and optimisation activities, work closely with external partners and internal stakeholders, and help ensure successful user adoption, business process alignment, reporting capability, and continuous improvement across the organisation.

Got what it takes?

• Relevant tertiary qualification in information systems, business, accounting, finance, computer science, or a related discipline, or equivalent ERP implementation and support experience.
• Proven experience supporting ERP systems, with Microsoft Business Central experience or certification highly desirable.
• Strong business analysis, reporting, Power BI, Power Platform, testing, training, change management, and process improvement capability.
• Ability to work confidently with business and technical stakeholders, vendors, and implementation partners to translate business requirements into practical ERP solutions.
• A proactive, analytical, and detail-focused approach, with excellent communication skills, and a strong customer service mindset.

On Offer:

We prioritise providing our people with the best possible experience. In addition to a great workplace, we operate a strong reliable network and have modern, well-maintained vehicles and gear. Our new employee benefits scheme offers rewards and benefits to help cover life’s costs and support personal wellbeing. We also offer competitive remuneration plus enhanced annual leave benefits, and a paid day off during the month of your birthday. We have an active Social Club with activities throughout the year, discounted gym/fitness centre memberships, an expansive break room and on-site parking. As part of our hybrid working approach, and after a qualifying period, employees can apply to enjoy a Nine-Day Fortnight or access to newly established satellite office in Islington, Christchurch. You’ll get to work with like-minded people who are passionate about keeping the lights and internet on throughout the Ashburton District.

Being a part of the Ashburton District means you’re a part of a strong supportive community with a great semi-rural lifestyle. With a variety of local dining and services, and excellent skiing, hunting, tramping and fishing spots nearby, you’ll be spoiled for choice. As it’s only a 60-minute drive from Christchurch Airport, it doesn’t take long to experience city life, while our newly established satellite office in Islington, Christchurch provides another connection point under.
