“Joining NZTC as an intern was a brilliant first step in my career in the energy industry. I’ve rapidly developed professionally and gained knowledge in green energy technology and infrastructure projects. Stepping into the Graduate Engineer role has also equipped me with project management skills in a varied and fast-paced project space. The company is a hub for knowledge and development, and I’m thrilled to work with so many great colleagues around me.”
