As a Graduate Engineer with Opus I was a member of the New Zealand Transport Agency Team focusing on asset management, maintenance and safety of the local State Highway Network for my first two years. In 2015 I took up a new position with the Design and Projects Team with a focus on design and project management of community enhancement projects for surrounding local councils.

I was employed by Opus International Consultants during University breaks as a working student/intern. Each time I returned I was rotated through a new team with varying responsibilities including; design, project management, surveying, audits, inspections and quality assurance.

As a senior guard I was often leading a small number of junior guards and responsible for all aspects of patrol, including; establishment, disestablishment, rosters, and any first aid or rescue incidents that occurred.
