Jamuna Sharma Dhakal studied Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering at the Auckland University of Technology and is now a Graduate Engineer at Powerco.

To me what I love most about my job is when I have a problem, and work to find a couple of solutions and provide a good mini presentation to the reviewer/mentor/superior about what I think is correct.

My favourite thing about Powerco is the people. Having good relationships with people across the business has been great for me.

I really enjoy stepping outside of my area of expertise and learning about what other disciplines do (for example surveying or fire engineering). The more I learn about other areas, the better I am at seeing a project as a whole product rather than just my civil design elements.

My favorite part of my job is using my creativity to design visually appealing applications, using data we have created or that has been supplied to us.

In the Tax team we have people who all have very different degrees and backgrounds! Some people have accounting degrees where many others in the team have science degrees or law degrees.
