Prosple Profiles

I’ve travelled to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for training and to rural parts of Australia to work on ESP equipment. I’ve met people from different parts of the world and learnt about different cultures I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise.

The tasks that I undertake and the projects I have been given, have given me a real chance to challenge myself and prove my abilities.

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.

The feeling of being challenged with a task that has not yet been implemented before and finding a solution is the most rewarding part of my role and one of the coolest things in general in software engineering.
