Anna Lu - Graduate 2012
I joined Transpower in 2012 as a Graduate Electrical Engineer. It was great to start my career with such a good company that has excellent values, fantastic culture and awesome people to work with.
As a young graduate, I was eager to find out about the different opportunities offered by the power system industry. How would I learn and develop in a working environment? Where would my career take me? How would I use the knowledge and skills I obtained at university to give back to our communities? Transpower’s graduate programme helped me find those answers.
After the graduate programme, I took a permanent position as an Operations Planning Engineer, and completed my master’s degree while I was working full-time. The various work opportunities offered at Transpower helped me to develop the skills and competencies needed to achieve many of my career goals.
I’m now a Senior Engineer and involved in coaching and mentoring others which enables me to give back to other engineers and society.
I highly recommend Transpower to anyone who cares about a sustainable net zero carbon future and is looking to join the industry. Transpower is one large collaborative team working for New Zealand, and adds value to the sustainable development of Aotearoa and our world.
