Application Process & Interviews at Transpower

It started with an interview, and if you were shortlisted, you completed a personality test, an emotional intelligence test, and a general mental ability test. The final part of the process involved background checks (references, criminal history etc.)

There is usually a quick phone chat/interview. This is followed by a panel interview where you are asked various questions including values, technical, team work and how you deal with challenges.

Relaxed interviews that are more about how you think than what you already know.

The hiring process is done in fairness, and it upholds all level of integrity.

I found Transpower's interview process was very good compared to other companies. They responded very quickly and was available for support. (Unlike other companies where they are quite slow) For me, I had one interview (with graduate manager and a technical manager together). The interview consisted of general questions and some technical questions (I'd say about a 60/40 ratio). The next stage would be a behavioural assessment, sort of like an IQ test. And then moved on to references. Overall the process was very smooth and the HR team was in constant communication with me throughout the process.

Your interview process may vary. However, we underwent a standard suite of psychometric assessments, and had non-technical and technical interview questions.

I dent remember.

Pretty straightforward, 15 minutes of general questions and 45 minutes of technical questions.

#NAME?

Can't remember.

They want to know that you have researched about the company and know what they do. Questions such as who is the CEO? or who does the company work for?

I dent remember.

Typical behavioural and people questions. Also some questions to see if you did your research on the company beforehand to gauge interest. I was also given some technical questions. It was a 60/40 split behavioural and technical. The technical questions were not very hard. It was more to gauge your problem-solving abilities and some basic understanding.

Your interview process may vary. I received scenario-based questions, as well as questions relating to the energy industry, transmission, and Transpower.

Do background research on the company and the wider industry, so you know what work the company is involved in.

Do a bit of research on the company you have applied for, it's good to have a background on the kind of work they're involved in.

Make sure you do a bit of research about the national grid first, but you are not expected to be an expert. A willingness to learn and a good attitude is the most important thing,

research lots about the company structure

Be yourself and do your research. Being genuine is the most important thing, and don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't know the answer.

Read about what we do as a company and our values. Get some prep on Quant, Verbal and logic.

Read up on the company values! Learn more about the company, even if it is just basics. Transpower does a lot for communities too! The Transpower website should have plenty of information. Have a geeze. Also get some basic understand of the industry, such as electrification and electric fleet and how it can affect the grid. (My technical question for power systems)

Make sure you know a bit about the electricity industry and Transpower's role as both grid owner and operator. And just be yourself :) there is a really nice group of people here so if you're the right fit you will be set
