I greatly enjoy the physical nature of my role. After spending a significant amount of time working almost entirely from behind a desk, I started to miss the exercise and even the feeling of making physical progress that comes with working on-site.
Working within Financial Control allowed me to practice the accounting skills I learnt at university as well as provided me with exposure to Stockland’s core business and financial systems.
I try to get out of the office and go for a drive around the various work fronts each day. This helps me keep on top of the progress and gives me a chance to take photos for the daily report or future works.
I love the variety it’s the spice of life therefore I’m always more than happy to go to new locations and learn more interesting facts about that area.
The afternoon consists of more daily work activities. Typically, I work more from my desk in the afternoon as the workers are set up and know what they are doing. It is a good time to conduct more site meetings and assess progress claims.
Working in a place where people have diverse life experiences helps me get a fresh perspective and approach tasks or challenges in ways that I otherwise wouldn’t.
