As demand for electrification accelerates to meet climate goals, Transpower's workforce, and that of our Service Providers, must scale significantly. By 2030, we anticipate a 60-100% increase in the service providers required to maintain and develop the National Grid.

To support this growth, the Sector Workforce Development Group - part of our People Division - is committed to defining, developing, and delivering top-tier vocational training programmes that ensure our people and those who work with us possess the skills and capability to undertake their roles effectively and safely. The group also plays a key role in promoting transmission sector jobs and career pathways to support growth.

The team ensures our workforce is prepared to meet the current and future demands of the sector, thereby supporting the overall reliability and safety of our power system.

The Trades team delivers specialised vocational training programmes focused on the maintenance of the Grid.
