We’re lucky enough to have a number of recently graduated electrical engineers who are happy to share what a typical day in their current role consists of.

Each presenter will provide a 10-to-15-minute presentation of their role, and upon completion of all presentations will be available to answer your questions.

This year we’re delighted have the following presenters:

  • Praveen Niranjan, Power Systems Engineer in the Beca Power team, and a graduate of the University of Canterbury.
  • Jack Hansen, Electrical Engineer working in the electrical instrumentation and controls team for Aurecon, and a graduate of the Victoria University of Wellington.
  • Sargon Biro, Network Planning Engineer for Wellington Electricity, and a graduate of the Victoria University of Wellington.


If you're in Wellington, feel free to join us in person from 5:00pm for drinks and nibbles with the presentations starting at 5:30pm sharp.

For those not based in Wellington, or can’t attend in person, this event will also be streamed online.
