Jacob Graham
Wellington,WGN
Summary
My Name is Jacob Graham, I grew up in Hamilton where I did all my schooling, during all my breaks and weekends my brother would always make me come and labour for him on site, this laid the foundations for my enjoyment and interest in the civil industry and taught me what it means to work hard. After I finished school I went south to Christchurch where I did first year eng at the university of canterbury, realising the 4 year trip wasn't for me I cross credited my papers and completed the Diploma in Civil engineering instead. After graduating I started my life in the workforce with Schick Civil in Wellington as a site engineer where I am currently working.
