Prosple Profiles

The programme gives you the chance to try so many different roles that you wouldn’t get to normally do.

One thing that drew me to applying for the graduate programme at Contact is that they offer specialised work in some very unique places. For me, the ability to live in Central Otago on the Clutha River comes with the benefits of skiing, biking, surfing, hiking, all in some very sweet scenery. 

I really love my job; I love learning about the green energy space and no day is the same!

Bravely try new things. To accumulate experience in continuous attempts. Never be afraid and resist new things, because most likely you will have fun and find satisfaction in them.

Everything is planned out and organised for the graduates. It's obvious that Transpower has put a lot of effort into ensuring we felt well-supported as we transitioned from students to working in the industry.

Every ‘no’ is one step closer to a ‘yes’, so don’t let the rejections bring you down. Keep pushing forward and show your worth.
