The MinTraq readiness lens for Hera Group
MinTraq measures readiness in four areas. Here is how each one applies at Hera Group.
Anchor your preparation in the assets and processes relevant to your role, from treatment facilities and networks to customer service and energy sales. General utility knowledge is useful, but specific service context makes it more convincing.
Consider how you would respond to a service disruption or a competing demand from residents and operational teams. Explain what you would check, communicate and prioritise without assuming that every service has the same constraints.
For team leads, readiness includes coordinating specialists around reliable local services while making decisions understandable to colleagues and community-facing partners.
Consider where data analysis or AI could support maintenance planning, demand forecasting or customer support. Be ready to explain how you would check the quality of inputs and keep people accountable for decisions.
Same company, different preparation
Preparing for Hera Group is not one thing. What you need to show depends on the role you want.
Waste and environmental operations
Focus on collection logistics, treatment processes and safe, consistent handoffs; an improvement proposal should account for what happens to material after collection.
