1. What’s been the most exciting part of joining the WT team so far? Are there any standout projects you’ve enjoyed being involved in?
The most exciting part of joining the WT team has been working and interacting with all the incredibly skilled people here. As my first job within the construction industry, I have been amazed at all the different jobs, processes and knowledge needed for projects to progress. The standout project I have been involved in is working on the Qantas Lounge at Auckland International Airport.
2. Beyond the technical work, how have you found adjusting to a new working environment outside of university?
WT has been very friendly and welcoming in so many ways, ranging from the frequent friendly greetings and conversations to the Friday evening drinks and snacks. I have quickly felt comfortable and part of the team.
3. Has your working experience brought more clarity about what you’d like to do in your future career?
My working experience has enabled me to experience construction from both a project management and quantity surveying viewpoint. This has reinforced my goals to become a successful architect but has also provided relief in knowing these other paths are available.
4. How has working alongside mentors like Max Mayer and Jeremy Harris shaped your understanding of the practical side of construction management, beyond what you're learning in your degree?
Working alongside my mentors has given me a great insight into realistic construction concepts to think about and shape my university projects and general thinking. We must aim for the best possible outcome and project, but they will fail if we don’t prepare for the potential problems that can arise.
5. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone looking to build a successful career in the construction industry in New Zealand?
I am early in my career journey, but the advice I'd like to give is to go for any and all opportunities! I would not be where I am today if I hadn’t applied for scholarships and gone to interviews even though I did not have high hopes.
