Supporting your career

We offer fulfilling careers and encourage all our people to take advantage of ongoing opportunities to develop their skills. We’ll support you every step of the way through a combination of structured training, informal on-the-job learning, regular checkins and inspiring buddies and mentors. Working alongside leading experts in your field, you’ll develop hands-on experience across multiple projects and gain the solid foundations required for an exciting and challenging career.

Formal training

To supplement your practical training, you will follow the Transgrid Learning Pathway to acquire skills and knowledge that will help you excel in the workplace.

Buddy program

In your first few weeks at Transgrid, you’ll meet your buddy. This is a former graduate who has been in your shoes before and can help you find your feet in the first few months – great support and connection to have.

Mentor program

Once you’ve completed two rotations in your first year, you’ll start your second year of the program with the support of your hand-picked mentor. This relationship will further guide your progression at Transgrid and help you develop your career.

Transgrid is committed to providing equal opportunities for all staff. Transgrid is committed to connect women, and their supporters, across the business. An employee-led network was created in 2021 called Energise and is just one initiative as part of Transgrid's D&I Strategy to improve Gender Diversity and Equality. The purpose of this network is to build stronger connections and support for women at Transgrid. Stronger together represents our vision to enhance a stronger connection for all. The Network was established to continue creating a fair and equitable workplace in which all employees have equal access to opportunity, and to develop and succeed in their career regardless of gender. Energise does this by hosting a range of different initiatives including;

• Networking: Transgrid enables formal and informal networking. For example, members can connect via the platform to have a virtual coffee or to connect in person when working or visiting Transgrid’s offices, depots and sites
• Mentoring: Mentors post their profile on Energise and Mentees connect with Mentors.
• Blogging: Employees can share information, articles, start conversations, ask questions on the Energise blog. This is a safe space as it is moderated by the D&I team and in the future will only be open to Members.
• Panel & Speaker Events: Hear from inspirational speakers, leaders and Transgrid colleagues.

Transgrid is committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where diverse thinking and ideas are valued, where all employees feel a sense of belonging, and where all are inspired to do their best each day.

Our people come from a broad range of backgrounds that reflect the communities we serve and bring different perspectives to different challenges. Together they play a critical role in our continued success. As such, we cultivate a workplace that promotes performance and recognition, and that develops, empowers and values employees at all levels and in all locations.

Transgrid celebrates a large calendar of diversity, inclusion and belonging events. The Transgrid Diversity Council was established to identify opportunities and proactively implement initiatives that foster a more diverse and inclusive culture at Transgrid, where our people thrive and our business grows sustainably. Diversity Council members are a group of committed leaders and employees who promote and champion Transgrid’s Diversity and Inclusion strategy across the company to inspire action and achieve positive outcomes.
