People, Growth and Leadership: The Power Trio Behind DGE’s Success

At DGE, success is not just about wires, transformers and electrical networks.

The real success lies in our power trio – people, growth and leadership.

Yes, we might be experts in high voltage and electrical solutions.

But, our real power source is a team that drives innovation, navigates daily challenges and forms collaborative partnerships with our clients to bring big ideas to life!

So, how does our focus on people, growth and leadership keep us at the top of our field? Keep reading to find out.

 

People – The Heart Of DGE

You can have the best tools in the business, but without a skilled and dedicated team, you just have a fancy box of parts! It’s our people that are the real game changers. From highly skilled electricians to forward-thinking engineers, each member of our team brings expertise, knowledge and innovative ideas that benefit our clients.

But it’s not just about technical skills. We also put a huge priority on communication and collaboration. Without these two aspects, our projects would not be as successful. Things work best when everyone knows what is happening and what the expectations are. And tools don’t communicate those things, people do!

Fisher & Paykel

Take the work we recently completed at Fisher & Paykel’s new headquarters for example. This was no ordinary electrical job, it was a full-scale transformation. Our team not only relocated an entire workforce of people and installed high-voltage systems, but we also ensured that everything met Green Star sustainability standards.

Managing such a complex project requires more than technical knowledge. We also drew on our ability to plan proactively and collaborate seamlessly with the other trades involved in the project, the project management, and the people on the ground at Fisher & Paykel. The successful outcome would not have been possible without the right people on the job!

 

Growth – Always Striving For More

In the electrical world, if you’re not moving forward, you’re falling behind. DGE doesn’t just want to keep up with what is happening in our industry, we want to set the pace!

We actively invest in continuous learning and innovation, supporting our team to upskill, gain relevant certifications and stay on top of the latest electrical technologies. Our commitment to professional growth ensures that our entire team is equipped with all the knowledge and skills they need to remain part of one of the most adaptable and forward-thinking teams in the industry.

Technology is also a huge part of our growth. From advanced energy-efficient systems to cutting-edge smart integrations, we are constantly exploring new ways to improve efficiency and sustainability for our clients. This means we can always offer our clients the most innovative solutions available, future-proofing their operations.

Jerry Green

The Jerry Green project was one that harnessed the power of clean energy, pushing the boundaries of sustainable energy solutions. By integrating advanced solar technology with smart energy management systems, we implemented an industry-leading solution with cutting-edge, Green Star standard technology.

Our technical expertise allowed us to navigate a complex, large scale installation and focus on sustainability, driving the growth of green standards and helping to shape the future of energy in New Zealand.

 

Leadership – Lighting The Way Forward

A strong team is only as good as the leadership guiding them. At DGE, leadership isn’t just about making decisions, it’s about inspiring innovation, striving for continual progression, and building long-term relationships with clients.

Great leadership is about overseeing projects, sure. But it’s also about fostering an environment of trust and growth. Our senior team leads by example, cultivating a workplace where everyone feels empowered to share ideas, problem-solve, and take ownership of their roles. This leadership philosophy is what keeps us agile and responsive, even in the face of complex challenges.

Foodstuffs

Case in point – the Foodstuffs’ head office. Our team was tasked with installing the high-voltage power system capable of running this major corporate hub. But, we struck a problem. Our team discovered spatial challenges in the transformer room. Then, our project manager stepped in with a creative solution that ensured both efficiency and safety. Rather than seeing this challenge as a roadblock, we used it as an opportunity to innovate, redesign, and improve their functionality.

 

The DGE Difference

We know that real success isn’t measured in kilowatts. It’s actually measured by the strength of our team, our ability to innovate and the relationships we build with our clients.

Collaboration is also key. Rather than working for people, we form collaborative partnerships. By working closely with the key people involved in each project, we ensure all jobs are executed smoothly and everyone is aware of the progress at each stage. This commitment to collaboration builds trust and creates the long-standing partnerships we are so proud of.

So, do you want to partner with us? We’d love to discuss your next project and how we can collaborate together to make it a success.
