I would definitely say that studying environmental science has given me an advantage in my career; the skills I learned through the degree have been invaluable.
The coolest thing has been the opportunity to jump right in and start developing features and seeing them get pushed to production, even in your first few weeks. Seeing the impact you have had motivates you to keep learning and improving.
I was always amazed when I was able to use my knowledge from university to draft a memo which later went out to the client either in its original form or with only minor edits.
If you love fast-paced environments, change, and knowing that ultimately you are making a difference in so many ways, then you’ll love working in Group Operations!
In the morning, I often go to site visits with the Infrastructure Connections Coordinator- Cliff Whittaker. We visit sites to measure distances to boundaries to create quotes for new Three Waters Connections.
During my engineering study, I realised that the infrastructure is like air as it is everywhere, but we are never aware of its importance. I wished to work for it and now I am here!
