Transpower is the commercially focused and regulated State-Owned Enterprise that owns and operates the National Grid. At the very heart of the energy sector, we transport electricity from where it is generated to large electricity users and the distribution companies who deliver it to homes and businesses nationwide.

**About the team**

Within our ICT Division, our Telecommunication Services Team provides cross-functional support across all levels of Service Delivery ranging from Incident and Problem Management, Change Management through to Project Support and Deployment.

The team is responsible for the design and deployment of Transpower's outside telecommunications infrastructure and secondary inside plant supporting our telecommunication equipment (referred to collectively to as Telecommunications plant).
