Summer Students
📍 New Plymouth, Tauranga or Wellington
Want to switch up your summer? We’re putting a call out to all Year 12 or 13 High school students, recent High school leavers or first-year students at universities or polytechnics. We’ve got seven summer student roles – yes SEVEN - available in our Electricity team, helping us get on top of a bunch of important tasks that we just haven’t had time to crack during the year.
These positions will mainly be based in New Plymouth but we do have some roles in Wellington and Tauranga. We're particularly interested to hear from students with links to these locations.
Your day-to-day will vary depending on where you’re placed, but you could be helping with things like:

About us
At Powerco, our purpose is to connect communities and that’s at the heart of everything we do. We're passionate about mahi that keeps over 1.1 million customers connected and supports the energy choices people want to make. As Aotearoa transitions to a low-carbon electricity system and moves toward a net zero 2050, we’re proud to play a role in making that happen.
Come and join us over summer – It’s a great chance to work alongside experienced professionals, build your confidence in an office setting, and contribute to work that genuinely helps our teams (and our customers!).

Our ability to get the best out of people is what sets Powerco apart. We realise that candidates – especially from underrepresented and neurodiverse backgrounds – often won’t apply for roles unless they meet ALL the criteria. We encourage anyone who shares our passion for connecting communities to apply for any role that aligns to your strengths and interests. We will provide a safe space where you can bring your whole self to work and thrive.
