What led you to Benmax?
I worked for a builder as a services coordinator. Benmax was my subby. I wanted to do more mechanical as I am a mechanical engineer and Benmax’s helpful and technical team wanted me to join them.
-
What is your favourite thing about working with Benmax?
The Christchurch team spirit.
-
How would you describe the Benmax team?
The (Christchurch) team is an honest, intelligent, smart, technology driven team that never lets a member down. We stand behind each other and if there is a problem we admit our mistakes, we sort them out and we learn from them.
-
How has the Benmax team supported you in your role?
Taken over tasks if I can’t deal with them, thinking ahead together, motivating each other.
-
What has been the most interesting project to work on?
The Christchurch Justice Precinct. I started the project with the builder and finished it off with Benmax. I was the only site-based person that was there from start to finish (from the ENTIRE construction team – all trades!). It was a frustrating job, but I learnt so much about mechanical services, people skills and myself. I also learnt about the skillset in our team and who is good at what which is helping us now.
-
What three words to describe you?
Detailed/quality driven, stubborn, black and white.
-
Outside of work you enjoy?
Weightlifting, my little weekend projects, cooking, travelling.
