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.
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.
Western Power is a utility company at the end of the day, and there are many opportunities to make a career here working in non-engineering disciplines as well. Experience and passion count for a lot.
The coolest thing about my job is putting your theoretical skills into practice. Even as a graduate, I have the opportunity to work on significant projects which are in some way connected to different disciplines.
Our designed telecommunication networks ensure uninterrupted communication between our field equipment and the Network Control Centre, fostering reliable electricity supply and rapid response to any arising issues.
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.
