We have our monthly PCG Meeting, this meeting is to give the client an update on construction progress, items that require the client’s direction, and financial and programme summary.

Project Management requires good organisation skills and the ability to prioritise tasks according to their requirements.

My job as an engineer is to help get a design as close to perfect as possible.

I like to catch up with my area foreman to run through activities for the day, drawings for an upcoming concrete pour and the status of outstanding RFIs we are chasing up.

Since it will be challenging to remember the things we did over the previous days or months, so keeping a record of site activities is a good habit to get into.

Just after lunch, an Engineers meeting is held to ensure the structure is progressing as planned. We all examine and mark up the drawings to ensure we are always a few weeks ahead with the planning of intricate details.

As it is nearing the end of the month, I am sitting with my manager to go over the monthly expenses for all Waka Kotahi disposal jobs in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions and establish budgets for the following month. This is an exciting job to do as it allows me to get an overview of all the current projects and understand the financial side of the work that I do.
