“This contract strengthens our position as market leader in New Zealand’s Utilities sector,” Mr Fenn said.

“It is a strong endorsement of Downer’s capability and underlines the strength of our ongoing, long-term relationships with our customers.”

The Chief Executive Officer of Downer New Zealand, Steve Killeen, said he was pleased to be continuing

Downer’s relationship with Powerco.

“This extension demonstrates our ability to bring world-leading insights and solutions that deliver cost-effectiveness, safety, and reliability for our customers,” Mr Killeen said.
