Just the nature of our work as a Protection Technician, we arrive early on site and work to achieve a goal for the day. Most of the time reaching this goal will require us to work a little bit longer, but if we have other commitments, during or after work, then we are pretty flexible. This does depend on how critical or how close we are to the commissioning date of some generation sites.
Work from an office, which suits my experience as it allows me to ask questions to other engineers. They are flexible within the week, meaning that external commitments and appointments during the week can be met, while still achieving 40 hours of work.
Flexible working hours
Very flexible. I am able to largely pick my own hours as long as I work 80 hours a fortnight. This is very useful if I want to leave early on Friday, or decide I want a sleep in halfway through the week! If you want to work from home a couple of days a week you definitely can, although I haven't really taken advantage of this.
ElectroNet hours are reasonably flexible, as long as you're available for meetings when needed. I usually start around 7 and finish around 4, sometimes allowing for a short day on Friday which is completely acceptable in most teams. Graduates don't often work remote in the Christchurch office unless necessary as there are so many people around to reach out to for help/training in the office.
