At Programmed, we believe that meaningful work goes beyond just a paycheck. It can transform lives, enhance communities, and create a healthier workforce. Take, for example, Victor Howe, who experienced a remarkable personal journey after joining our team.
After transitioning from a high-pressure role in the automotive industry to becoming a Facilities Service Technician with Programmed, Victor embarked on a path that led to him shedding 17 kilograms in just two months. This transformation wasn’t just about weight loss; it represented a complete lifestyle change. With the opportunity to work outdoors and walk up to 63 kilometers a day, Victor found not only physical vitality but also renewed life satisfaction.
Victor’s story is a testament to how working with Programmed can enhance well-being. Our recent success in securing a major contract with Transpower to manage their extensive network of substations and facilities across New Zealand reflects our commitment to creating rewarding job opportunities. This partnership has opened the door to 34 new roles, allowing individuals like Victor to thrive both personally and professionally.
Matthew Cotterall, Head of Facility Management in New Zealand, emphasizes our approach: “By reinvesting in local communities and prioritising local knowledge, we create a shared trust model that drives our success.” Our team is dedicated to maintaining the essential infrastructure that New Zealanders rely on, and we recognise that our local workforce is our greatest asset.
The Transpower contract is not just a business milestone; it’s a commitment to the future of New Zealand’s infrastructure. With our innovative technologies, such as drones for asset inspections, we are focused on delivering top-notch services while minimising disruption. Mark Ryall, Transpower’s EGM of Grid Delivery, states, “Facilities Maintenance is a crucial component of ensuring our critical infrastructure meets the demands of the future.”
As we grow—now responsible for maintaining over 6,000 sites nationwide—we invite potential clients and employees to join us in this journey. At Programmed, we are not just about maintaining facilities; we are about creating an environment where people can thrive.
Join us at Programmed, where a real difference is made—both in your life and the lives of others. Together, let’s build a healthier, more sustainable future.
