At The Lines Company (TLC), we’ve been powering the King Country for nearly 100 years. As a community-owned business, we’re all about people — our customers, our team, and our region.
Whether it’s supporting local homes, farms, or schools, we work around the clock to keep the lights on and the region running. We offer job stability, competitive pay, and a workplace that values balance, development, and community.
This is a fantastic opportunity for either:
an experienced administrator, or
a school leaver / early-career candidate with the right attitude who’s keen to learn and grow in the electricity industry.
If you’re organised, enjoy helping people, and take pride in doing things right — we can teach you the rest.
