Looking into the future
Our business connects the present with the future. Everyday we make decisions that will influence the quality of infrastructure New Zealanders enjoy in 40 to 50 years' time
Our commitment to developing our people
In the past year we have grown our team to around 260 people and implemented a company-wide leadership training and development programme. We understand that our people have always been the key to Powerco's success and have consistently invested in their training and ongoing professional development. Our staff have undertaken a wide range of training during the year, including post-graduate studies, continuing professional development, industry conferences, management training, gas and electrical engineering courses, as well as a range of workshops and commercial skills development courses.
The increased focus on leadership development reflects our aim to continually lift internal performance and to provide an environment where all our people are challenged to seek improvements and innovation and encouraged to reach their full potential as well as leading their teams to excel.
We have also been looking to our future recruitment needs and, during the summer, hired a number of university students representing a range of courses of undergraduate study, from electrical engineering to commerce and the arts. A significant number of students who have undertaken holiday work in the past have returned to join the team full-time. This is a trend we plan to continue.
