Unlike many design teams, our team have a strong contracting background, which means constructability is always considered in everything we deliver.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My responsibilities vary from full trenchless design delivery for high-profile projects including the Gold Coast Light Rail and Inland Rail, to design review and compliance assessment. My role also includes methodology review and advice, verification of pipe selection via installation loading and structural loading assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within this scope, my role can vary significantly from managing our team and resources, through to writing reports, performing calculations, and providing advice to clients and stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-dusty-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-why-do-you-do-what-you-do\">Why do you do what you do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I really enjoy what I do because there is always something new and challenging. The variety of projects means I am never doing the same thing over and over, I get to solve unique problems and work with different people all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a part of a great, high functioning team, is very rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-dusty-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-are-the-3-important-qualities-or-skills-in-your-job\">What are the 3 important qualities or skills in your job?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Collaboration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoy being a part of diverse teams and working with various stakeholders, such as asset owners, designers, developers, councils, contractors, authorities, suppliers and manufacturers, to develop constructible and efficient solutions. It\u2019s important to understand the strengths of the team and bring together all of the information when developing solutions to unique problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If I don\u2019t know something, I\u2019m not too proud to ask. I think this is an important part of our role as it goes a long way towards designing the best solutions and creating positive outcomes for our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Take time to understand how things work and what the constraints are<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By being detail oriented and asking questions, you get to understand more about the project and how different elements add up to form a whole. By understanding how things work, you can think outside the box to create innovative solutions to unique problems. I was able to do this on a project and was able to save the client $3 million while also reducing the project\u2019s environmental footprint by using recycled products!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-dusty-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-why-systra\">Why SYSTRA?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three things that really resonate with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Having been part of the Bamser team originally, the thing that really stands out to me about SYSTRA is the ability to connect with global experts. We are working on a project now alongside colleagues from our team in India.

We may be geographically spread but we are all very connected, genuine, and helpful.

I also have time for my other passions in life, like health and fitness.
