Sam Wright has already had a taste of construction through a part time job so he's keen to find out more about what he would be doing in a role as a civil engineer. Christchurch company Isaac Construction is the perfect place to find out as it is involved in all aspects of infrastructure works, including construction, surfacing, bitumen products, transport and quarrying. In fact, the company is also internationally recognised for its construction of Peacock Springs on the outskirts of Christchurch, a quarry that has been transformed into a 1000ha wildlife habitat. As he is given an insight into some of the projects the company is involved with, Sam soon realises that there is plenty of variety and skill needed in the civil engineering world. Tenders need completing, costs need estimating, surveying needs to be done and throughout all processes, there's a large amount of communication required so everyone knows what they're working toward and what the timeframe is. Sam certainly has plenty to think about by the time he finishes up with Isaac Construction and maybe there are opportunities in civil engineering that have caught your eye too?
