What makes Vector a great place to work?

Living Wage Employer

Diversity and inclusion

Vector is committed to encouraging and embracing diversity and inclusion, believing that it will make Vector an even better, more inspiring place to work.

“We recognise that for our people to thrive and for their creativity to shine, we must offer a workplace culture in which people feel comfortable bringing their whole self to work.” – Kate Beddoe, Chief Risk Offer

Vector is a progressive and dynamic employer that welcomes the LGBTQ+ community and is Rainbow Tick certified as part of its inclusion commitments.

In addition to the Rainbow Tick, Vector’s policies have won awards: Vector was announced as the winner of the Tomorrow’s Workforce and overall Supreme awards in the 2015 Diversity Awards.

Most recently, Vector was officially awarded the Accessibility Tick, the first company in New Zealand to receive the award, in recognition of their commitment to create a more accessible and inclusive workplace and their role in co-designing the Accessibility Tick programme.

To continue promoting and excelling at this, Vector’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee is made up of volunteers from across the country, working together as active ambassadors who champion a range of initiatives.

Vector is leading the transformation of the energy sector to create a new energy future.
