About Us

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in your next role?

At Basis, our purpose is to radically accelerate the clean-energy revolution - starting with smarter, safer, and more efficient homes. We’re focused on improving experiences for people through the application of technology, data, and a deep understanding of human behaviour.

Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality.

Basis is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna, and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life.

The Role

Basis is seeking a motivated intern to contribute to the development of our Quality Management System (QMS). This internship offers an exciting opportunity to work on a cutting-edge R&D project focused on smart electrical panels that enhance safety and energy efficiency. This will suit someone who has a strong engineering background but wants to explore other pathways an engineering career can take.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

• Development of quality processes to translate complex problems into clear, actionable processes for stakeholders, discussing both current and ideal states
• Collaborate with engineering teams to establish design through to manufacturing processes that ensure the reliable production of our smart electrical panels. This includes addressing non-conformances, performing root cause analyses, and managing Engineering Change Requests (ECRs)
• Developing processes for Supplier Quality Management, including supplier assessment, non-conforming parts management, improvement initiatives, and part acceptance procedures
• Conduct research into the product and compliance requirements of future Markets we may want to enter
• Support the implementation of compliance processes to optimise compliance turn-arounds to meet technical standards

About You

We think you’ll be a fit for this role if have the following experience or skills:

• Have studied or are studying Engineering at a New Zealand tertiary education institution (Note: students who have completed study overseas are not eligible for this internship)
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to understand complex technical and business requirements
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills
• Detail-oriented with a passion for quality assurance and process improvement

This internship is only open to candidates who possess the right to work in New Zealand. This is a fixed term, full time role which will commence late November 2024, and conclude in February 2025.

Please note; applications will be open for two weeks and close EOD on Monday the 29th of July. Any applications after this date will not be considered.
