Summary

I am a second-year Civil Engineering student at the University of Canterbury, eager to gain experience in the industry through a summer internship from mid-November to February. I plan to specialise in structural engineering and am excited to learn more about how design and construction come together in real-world projects. I bring a strong sense of adaptability, reliability, and a willingness to take on new challenges. I’m enthusiastic about contributing to a team, growing my skills, and developing a deeper understanding of engineering in practice.

Work History

Warehouse Worker

Multistrut Industries
Penrose, Auckland
06.2023 - 12.2024

In this position, I worked with a wide range of metal products, including trays, beams, and structural components. My day-to-day responsibilities included receiving and organising incoming inventory, managing stock levels, and preparing customer orders for dispatch. I frequently assisted customers during pickups, loading their vehicles safely and efficiently, and adjusting or modifying products to meet specific requirements. I also supported delivery runs and contributed to general warehouse operations to ensure smooth workflow. This role developed my practical understanding of handling heavy materials, attention to detail, and ability to work both independently and as part of a team in a busy, hands-on environment.

Warehouse - Packing and Shipping

Behemoth Brewing
Mount Eden, Auckland
12.2022 - 05.2023

At Behemoth, I was responsible for canning a variety of beverages, labeling and sorting finished products, and preparing pallets for shipping and distribution. My role involved maintaining accurate inventory records, assisting with stock rotation, and ensuring that all products were packaged and labeled to meet quality standards. I regularly supported other areas of the operation as needed, including helping in the kitchen, cleaning workspaces, and moving products across the facility.

Working in a fast-paced production environment taught me the importance of efficiency, clear communication, and reliability. I developed strong attention to detail and became confident in managing shifting priorities and maintaining consistency under pressure. This role also improved my ability to follow procedures closely and contribute to a safe, well-organised work environment.
