Leading the civil team means I get to collaborate with a passionate group of people who support each other every day. I'm always up for a challenge and pushing the boundaries, whether at work, study, or outdoor activities.

Arup is a unique company with a unique culture. I like the flat structure, flexibility, benefits like profit share, birthday leave, and feeling you're not just a number. I've made some lifelong friendships as I've moved from different offices in Australasia.

The Auckland office's social atmosphere is always full of energy. We have several social activities, including birthday celebrations, coffee shouts, monthly social drinks, and team building events.

Arup's flexibility means I can take time out to complete my master's degree and have the time be there for my kid's events ? it's a good balance.

My most memorable project is working on Auckland Light Rail. Every time we work on this project, it brings the whole office together in a truly multidisciplinary way.

During my time in Australia, I've had the opportunity to work on global projects, including the Gold Coast Light Rail, Pacific Highway Upgrades, and Sydney Light Rail projects. Now back in Aotearoa, I get to collaborate on overseas projects digitally.

Arup's flexibility means I can take time out to complete my master's degree and have the time be there for my kid's events ? it's a good balance. There are so many hidden places and treasures in Aotearoa, especially in the outdoors. You can take a mini escape in Auckland and feel like you're on holiday without leaving the city. My family and I enjoy travelling down to Rotorua a few times a year to get amongst the world-class mountain biking on offer down in this area. We also like camping heading north to hidden gems like Taupo Bay, Northland.
