A PROPOSAL FOR TRANSPOWER

Not Business As Usual

We are living in a world where accelerated advances, climate emergency, and political and economic unease has shifted our workforce of the future to be critically conscious of purpose over profit.

It's now or never to take a stand and embed values into your communication.

With increases in electric car sales, solar panel installations and a demand for decentralisation, there are increasing infrastructure challenges that require creative people solutions.

Aotearoa is in a perfect position to tackle this future thinking. We were the third jurisdiction in the world to establish a wholesale electricity market in 1996. We’ve also had several major world firsts for the industry, such as half-hour market pricing and internet-based electricity trading.

The key to attracting creative problem solvers is creative and authentic storytelling. Storytelling that showcases your biggest asset: your people.

There are positive stories to share already. View one of them.

So, what is Transpower's workforce known for?

Transpower has a unique position in the market and a highly-skilled and diverse team.

There are opportunities to capture the wonderful stories that are currently already spread across the organisation.

Tap into this and role model the incredible diversity and inclusion examples you already have, so that others are inspired to join.
