The Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Christchurch Lines Company has resigned.
Rob Jamieson’s resignation from Orion was confirmed Monday. He has been with Orion for 26 years and has been CEO for the past nine.
Jamieson said it was the ideal time to “hand over the reins” after completing a recent review of the company’s strategy.
He became the director of the company after the Canterbury earthquakes, succeeding Roger Sutton, who was appointed executive director of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority.

In 2014, Jamieson said Stuff He raised his hand for the role in part out of a sense of responsibility and duty.
Orion President Jane Taylor said Jamieson provided stability when it was needed most.
“Rob stepped in and led the rebuilding of the earthquake-damaged power grid, as well as addressing the changing energy needs of the City of Christchurch and the Selwyn District. This has been a challenging and unique undertaking that required years of intensive work, “he said in a statement.
“You should be proud to incorporate improved engineering architecture and resilience into our network, while maintaining a record of reliable power supply for our community. This has been accomplished in the face of numerous natural events that have provided unique challenges for the network and staff. “
Orion is 89.3 percent owned by Christchurch City Holdings Limited, the investment arm of Christchurch City Council.
It provides electrical infrastructure to 195,000 homes and businesses.
Orion’s board would begin the search for a new CEO soon, according to a company statement.
