Unitec Career and Employability Directory Profiles

I love being able to work with a variety of people every day to help them achieve their goals. From helping them walk pain-free or returning to a sport or passion that requires functional movement – seeing the progression from where we started is so rewarding.

As with anything, a strong passion for what you are doing is essential – I have a passion for construction and can see myself enjoying working in this industry for the next 20+ years.

What I love most about my job is how much I am learning. Every single day without exception I am gaining new knowledge and practicing my skills.

I have the most rewarding career and I do not think I could be happier with my decision of becoming a teacher.

Having a generous mentor I think has been key to my enjoyment and success on this second rotation.

Work moves so quickly on-site and it’s amazing to see the planning which happens behind the scenes to make this happen.  I am also surrounded by a wealth of knowledge and everyone is always willing to take the time to explain why things are done a certain way.

One of the biggest perks at Powerco is the flexible working hours, this allows me to balance my work with my other interests like cricket, squash etc.
