Meet Steve Croft

Job:

Construction Manager at the Memorial Park Alliance.

Job description:

I lead the team that manages all aspects of the construction works.

Work background:

Since graduating from university I have worked on a wide range of civil construction projects in New Zealand, Australia and England. My roles have ranged from Site Engineer on small subdivisions through to Project Manager of a $220M project.

Favourite part of job:

Seeing the completed works. It could be a project you have been working on for two or three years, so seeing it completed and put into public use gives a sense of achievement.

Least favourite part of job:

The fact that the projects are seldom close to home and can require people to move towns or cities for the duration of the projects.

Qualifications:

B.E Civil (Hons)
Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration
Chartered Professional Engineer

Interests outside work:

Spending time with my family, waterskiing and paddle boarding, general fitness.
