What brought you to Benaiah?
Opportunity to directly develop/influence the business with the Managing Director. Working with a developer on a large scale development in its early stages of delivery. Training and mentoring colleagues.

Dahua’s Menangle Park and Lendlease’s Jordan Springs.

What do you love about working at Benaiah?
Team and culture, enthusiasm and energy, large scale and long term projects.

What kind of project would you love to work on in the future and why?
I have recently been involved with assessing and managing responses to some ecological sensitive communities which I found interesting - I’d like to continue developing my expertise in environmental engineering including managing ecology, stormwater and flooding.

What do your weekends look like?
I usually catch up with friends, head to the beach, go for a bush walk or urban safari exploring Sydney, and try a new café and/or restaurant. I also volunteer for Marine Rescue NSW at Middle Harbour one weekend per month where we patrol Sydney Harbour and beyond responding to calls for assistance and emergencies.
