About the Role

You will be reporting into our Group Innovation and Sustainability Team who work together towards the common goal of positioning Fletcher Building as the Australasian leader in sustainable building materials, construction, and distribution.

Transitioning to a low carbon footprint organisation in the market is not only critical for NZ environment and society, but it is a competitive advantage. One of the key sustainability aims of Fletcher Building is to meet our science-based carbon reduction target of reducing our emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 30% before 2030. The project is focused on understanding the opportunities around energy generation, distribution, and management (EGDM) technologies through a global lens. For this project, we are looking for an intern who can research what we should be aware of in this sector in high level of detail.

• Identify and mapping key macro trends in EGDM globally to understand what technologies are being developed.
• Developing clear segmentation of EGDM markets via business/operating models, technology differentiation and value propositions.
• Mapping domestic operators within the segments and identifying key partners with an in-depth profile for future engagement.
