Graduate engineers on board for the summer

MainPower welcomes two bright young sparks to the team with graduate engineers joining us for the summer.

Tim and Aiden are engineering students from the University of Canterbury, who are gaining some valuable work experience as part of their degrees. The pair will have the opportunity to work across a number of departments and teams within MainPower.

Aiden was a recipient of the MainPower Prize for Excellence in Physics and/or Maths when he was a student at Rangiora New Life School.

Another way that MainPower is encouraging people to enter the electricity industry.
