Meet Jake O'Grady

Electrician at Canterbury

Jake is an Electrician at ANZCO Foods Canterbury, where he's been helping keep the site running for the past ten years. His role involves anything electrical on-site, from routine maintenance through to breakdown repairs.

Before joining ANZCO, Jake worked for ACL in Ashburton. When asked what has surprised him most about working at ANZCO, he says after ten years, there aren't too many surprises left!

Outside work, Jake enjoys playing rugby and disc golf. After a busy day, you'll often find him at the park with his two dogs, throwing a ball around for them and unwinding. He's married and also has a cat at home.

His claim to fame is competing in the Olympic swimming trials a few years ago, an achievement he's still proud of today.
