University of Auckland Careers Directory Profiles

It’s fun to be working in the environment and sustainability field, especially in the transport sector, as this is an industry where we can make a real difference in regards to New Zealand’s carbon emissions.

I like that my job provides me with the opportunity to learn. While that is somewhat cliché, it is what keeps it interesting.

Getting the space to collaborate with others gives me energy, and receiving positive feedback drives me - Contact always provides both.

In my everyday work I create and update features to make adoption and usage of the cloud easier, help developers solve questions or issues with their cloud environments.

I have learned about the immense breadth and scale of KiwiRail and its contribution to New Zealand and how ‘small’ initiatives can have an extensive impact.

I think a vast array of people can do project management. I think what you need to thrive in it is communication and people skills. Those are the most important. Having other administration skills and computer skills is helpful. The technical skills you can always learn, but having the right attitude and soft skills is really important.

I love the innovation! The process of starting with a consumer need, developing a product, and then seeing that product on the shelves in the supermarket is the best.
