At the heart of the electricity sector, our Operations Planning team enables both maintenance and project work to occur on the national grid, safely and efficiently, through coordination, across Transpower, with Generators and our Service Providers. The team also delivers engineering assessments to ensure potential security impacts are mitigated and power system security is maintained while the required work takes place.

**Our Graduate Programme**

Commencing February 2025 in Te Whanganui-a-Tara / Wellington, we invite you to be part of a cohort of 30 Engineering Graduates with various majors. You'll gain a range of skills and put theory and first principles into practice while doing important work with a variety of different teams over your two-year rotational placement programme.

Our Graduates tell us they enjoy:

- Work that has real meaning, and impact
- Our inclusive and caring culture and experienced expert colleagues who freely share their knowledge
- Being part of a community and forming lasting bonds they will take with them throughout their careers
- The level of involvement they have in shaping their careers, which really can be 'Powered by You'

You'll receive mentoring from experts to build your knowledge and experience real work from day one. As an Operations Planning Graduate Programme participant, you'll rotate through placements like System Security, Network Modelling and Commissioning, Grid Compliance, and Outage Planning. This may require travel and a placement/s outside of Wellington. You may be part of:

- The crew completing the annual HVDC outage
- Planning system outages with internal and external teams
- Identifying and planning approaches to support system security and system operations - short, medium, and long-term
- Helping to plan and size the Transmission Grid of the future

Building relationships across the business, you'll gain both deep technical understanding and strengthen your soft skills, along with a good awareness of internal and external customer needs. Ultimately, we will help you explore where and how you wish to shape your career with us.
