Pros & Cons

  • The people are really supportive and are always willing to help you out.
  • Graduates can be given numerous opportunities to see the many different assets that Transpower owns and operates.
  • Transpower has 7 am-7 pm office hours and is very flexible as long as you communicate and get your work done.
  • There is a strong community of young professionals and plenty of opportunities to socialise with colleagues after work.
  • There is a whole sustainability group, with projects like recycling glass insulators and volunteer days to plant trees.
  • The workload can fluctuate based on the placement team.
  • Has the ability to work from home but that's a discussion to have with the manager, highly recommended coming into the office for better engagement and development.
  • In the graduate programme, graduates are given a taste of doing design work, but this is only offered through a brief 2-month placement at an external engineering consultancy.
  • Ambiguity of my role within the business.
  • The graduate programme was a bit disorganised this year as placements were only finalised 3 months after we started.
