BLOG | National Engineers Week 2024 – Fausto Braccio Interview

National Engineers Week 2024 continues and up next we have our Senior Project Engineer Fausto Braccio who believes aspiring engineers should continuously seek opportunities to learn and expand their skill set:

What made you want to get into engineering?

I was drawn to civil engineering because I have always been fascinated by the idea of being part of the process of designing and building structures that benefit society and improve people’s lives.

 What does a typical working day look like for you?

A typical day for me starts with planning the day and organising tasks based on priority. It also involves coordinating and attending internal and external meetings, answering to customer’s queries, helping them with their request for additional products, checking and processing product packs before they go into manufacture, among others. 

What do you enjoy most about your job?

What I enjoy the most of my job is the possibility of working in diverse projects from small residential houses to large building complexes, resulting in learning something new every day and having the chance to work with many professionals along the way. I also find satisfaction in witnessing the tangible results of our efforts when doing site visits or looking at our customer’s site photos, which is particularly rewarding.

Any advice for aspiring engineers?

For aspiring engineers I recommend a strong foundation in project management and continuously seek opportunities to learn and expand their skill set.
