Find out what some of our talented team have to say about their role in empowering the energy future for New Zealand.
Nikki, Asset Planning Group Manager | Malcolm, Head of Innovation and Strategic Change | Katherine, Operations Planning Manager | |
"The beauty of my job is that there is nothing typical about any one day; every day is different. Anything can happen on the grid at any time, so no matter the day, you’re always on your toes and up for a challenge." | “Transpower has provided me very real support when it comes to maintaining my academic and professional interests – I’ve completed a PhD, been part of several technical groups, and attended many interesting conferences along the way.” | “Being involved in nationally significant and critical projects is a good feeling. And when we strike a problem, everyone gets stuck in, we all want the same thing, and we get there quicker together.” | "I take great pride in the fact that my team contributes to the development of the next generation of engineers and planners for New Zealand's energy system. I enjoy witnessing the growth and progress of these individuals who will shape the future of our nation's energy landscape." |

"Being part of Transpower means I actively contribute to the transition towards cleaner and greener energy practices, bringing a positive impact the environment and our future generations." | “Get stuck in and try new things. Build relationships. Listen. When you find an organisation with a culture that resonates with your own values, that’s a special thing.” | Everything is planned out and organised for the graduates. It's obvious that Transpower has put a lot of effort into ensuring we felt well-supported as we transitioned from students to working in the industry. | “I’ve worked on the national grid my entire career. It’s been incredibly rewarding. Some of our projects are over multiple years with a myriad of challenges. Seeing them through and knowing they will benefit." |

"Everyone I have met is driven by passion about what they do – we are all working towards the same goal of New Zealand’s electrification future." | "The list of reasons why I'm proud to be part of Transpower is simply too long. What truly sets Transpower apart is its people." | "Knowing that I had backing and help from my supervisors and team members meant that I felt more confident to push myself and try new tasks." | "I've been part of the Whanau for over 11 years and the biggest thing for me has been the people." |
