It's all in the name

The name Protean is derived from classical mythology pertaining to the Greek sea-god Proteus, noted for his ability to assume different forms. As such Protean Electrical provides a wide range of services to complete your project to the highest of standards.

I started my electrical training as an apprentice in 2007 and became a qualified electrician in 2012. I kicked off my career as a qualified electrician with McConnell Dowell until 2017 at which point I became self-employed. Throughout my career I have gained experience on some of Auckland's major projects including the Waterview Tunnel and City Rail Link projects.

"I have personally known and worked alongside Conrad Anderhold for over 5 years. Conrad is very skilled in the electrical industry especially in the industrial and underground mining sectors.

Conrad has been working as a contractor for McConnell Dowell Constructors with site set-up, TBM installation and maintenance and breakdown work, I have always found him to be polite, to listen and actively engage in planning the work together. I would recommend Conrad to anyone who needs a no-nonsense hard-working electrician that is prepared to come to site whenever and whatever time I call him."

"Conrad and his workforce have worked with us on the NRU Tunnel Project, and helped us having all the electrical site setup compliant with the mining regulations. He always brought technical solutions to our site issues, he used his network to help the job going forward, and he was also the perfect middleman between the mining regulators and the site crew."
