Luke Vivian Z People Personal Improvement Brian Perry Civil
Luke’s hard work and leadership skills saw him appointed Manager of a busy MacDonald’s outlet in Paraparaumu when he was just 19. While he enjoyed the responsibility of the role, he needed more challenge and looked to the construction industry in which his late father worked to get the opportunities he sought. He began work in 2014 as a labourer on the Mackays to PekaPeka (M2PP) expressway project north of Wellington. Trading a job title of Manager for one of Labourer might be seen as a step down, but for Luke it was the entry into an industry in which he has stepped up and forged an exciting future for himself. Luke’s potential was quickly recognised and he was encouraged into an engineering cadetship to enable him to reach his full potential. He will complete his Diploma in Engineering qualification at the end of this year. With the completion of the Whirokino project, 10 months ahead of schedule, Luke is now working on the groundworks for a new Summerset retirement village being built on a challenging site by the Hutt River in Lower Hutt. His goal is to work as a project manager on a major infrastructure project that will deliver significant national or regional benefits and leave a legacy for generations to come.
