We’re thrilled to introduce Maia, a Graduate Engineer who is joining our New Zealand team.
Maia recently graduated from the University of Canterbury and is starting his engineering career working on transmission line infrastructure projects.
He says he was keen to join the Groundline team because it gives him the opportunity to contribute to New Zealand’s renewable energy goals and to work on projects across the country.
Fun fact: one of Maia’s first jobs was in a ski rental shop in Japan!
Outside of work, Maia says he loves being in the great outdoors... snowboarding, surfing, hunting, or any other adventure that gets him into nature.
Welcome aboard, Maia! We’re excited to see the impact you’ll make.

Sit in on any utility planning meeting and you’ll see the same challenge: project delivery dominates the agenda, while asset management fights for attention.

As Groundline enters a new phase of growth and I find myself at the helm, I am in an interesting position where I am looking through two lenses. One on the ANZ market that I have operated in for 10+ years and the other on our global markets (UK, EU and USA).

After 21 years of growth, Groundline enters a new chapter—one that underscores our commitment to governance, succession planning, and sustainable growth, while creating development opportunities for our incredible team.
