Once a week, I have an informal coffee catch-up, in the kitchen, with the other grad in my cohort where we’re able to share helpful tips we have picked up on our jobs and chat about how each of us is going. It’s really nice knowing there are other people in the same situation learning similar things to you.

As it is nearing the end of the month, I am sitting with my manager to go over the monthly expenses for all Waka Kotahi disposal jobs in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions and establish budgets for the following month. This is an exciting job to do as it allows me to get an overview of all the current projects and understand the financial side of the work that I do.
