Asia Pacific design, engineering and advisory company, Aurecon, has appointed Energy Market Leader, Rebecca Mehrtens, as its Aotearoa New Zealand Energy & Industrial Leader.
Rebecca brings significant experience as a leader and advisor to the energy sector across Aotearoa New Zealand, which will support Aurecon’s clients to traverse the many opportunities and challenges facing the energy industry in the coming years.
“Aotearoa, New Zealand is committed to the energy transition with renewable energy and decarbonisation at the centre of this commitment. There will be massive scale and investment over the next ten years, across all parts of the industry from power generation, the transmission network, electrification, and energy security through sustaining capital,” Mehrtens said.
Rebecca Mehrtens is pleased to see that support for a clean energy transition is supported by the new Government and across the business community.
“However, as with any massive scale up of infrastructure or change to existing equipment, there will be challenges. Our full end to end integrated solutions across all parts of the energy transition including sustainability and climate change will be vital in supporting our clients with these challenges,” she continued.
"Aotearoa, New Zealand is committed to renewable energy and decarbonisation at the core of its energy transition."

“I am also absolutely delighted for both Rebecca and Dan to be taking the next exciting steps in their career journeys.”
Before Aurecon, Rebecca worked at Transpower and Genesis Energy where she held diverse roles including the Auckland Development Manager for Transmission, and Group Manager Energy Trading and Market Operations.
