    Best thing about being an engineer?

    My favourite aspect of engineering is combining creativity with problem solving and technical knowledge to help clients achieve their goals. It is a wonderful feeling when you have a lightbulb moment that ticks all the boxes to a problem you are trying to solve and the design then forms a part of the built environment. Seeing completed buildings working as intended and being enjoyed by the end users is a delight.

    What is it about the industry that motivates you?

    The construction industry (particularly relating to heritage developments) provides constant challenges and problems to solve involving the various project stakeholders. Finding the right solution that satisfies client goals and technical compliance is a great motivator.
