My tasks have been engaging learning experiences primarily around employing my knowledge of software and coding. I think I've gained more knowledge from asking questions and attempting to stay up to date with the company and my team compared to my own projects though. Don't expect to be doing exactly what you studied at first.
The graduates probably get the more interesting work. Usually they will be given one key project to work on during their rotation in the team.
I have been involved in meaningful projects that excite me and motivate me to constantly learn, Powerco is in the process of adapting to future changes in electricity demand, and therefore there are a lot of opportunities to participate in projects that will have a significant impact within the company but also within New Zealand.
My role currently is to support the delivery of the AMP (Asset Management Plan) and my day-to-day tasks change up everyday depending on the focus of my group (meaning never a boring day for me :) ).
