I love the industry my job is involved with. Getting electricity from the generators to all consumers whether in the central business district, or 400km south in Albany, Western Power is there to keep the lights on for everyone, all the time.
The best things about Western Power include the variety of work, the support from your team with regards to training, knowledge sharing, and flexible working options.
I love that my job still requires an application of electrical engineering theory – in some roles I have definitely had to dust off the old university textbooks and brush up on some concepts. The application of this theory and realising it out in the field is very rewarding.
I design how a customer can connect to the grid and for example if that customer’s dream was to always open their own bakery, I can help to achieve that person’s dream.
I can lead my projects and tackle them in my own way, and I always have guidance and support from my team members. The flexible start and finish times and the supportive team environment are also other perks of working with Western Power.
