“I started working for Reeves Envico in 2016 following my graduation from a mechanical engineering degree at RMIT University. My first project with Reeves involved working as a contract administrator – very far away from the engineering degree recently completed – on the Kiritimati Water Sanitation Improvement Project and Cassidy International Airport Upgrade. As an avid traveller, Reeves’s projects across the Pacific offered me an opportunity to work in exotic places on water infrastructure projects – a field I am deeply passionate about. Currently, I’m living in Tarawa, working on the South Tarawa Water Project, and delivering – along with a small expatriate contingent – two 3.5 million litre per day desalination plants. Although Tarawa isn’t the most exotic place in the Pacific, working with our I-Kiribati workforce and participating in the South Tarawa Water Supply Project – which effectively future proofs Tarawa’s fragile water supply – is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
