Just imagine, how much easier our lives would be if we were born with a ‘user guide or owner’s manual’ which could tell us what to eat and how to live healthy. I surely also can't tell what to eat for everyone but I sure know what my body needs. And I provide that to myself on daily basis with best nutritional supplements. I don't care for what other thinks of it. I know the benefits and taking it since last 1 year, regularly and daily. #MakeTheWorld #Healthier & #Happier #HealthySupplements #HealthyChoices #WorkoutDaily #NourishYourBody #EatClean #BeFit #GetFit #StayFit #GetHealthy #GetTransformation #GetResults #Herbalife #HerbalifeIndia #HerbalifeNutrition #Herbalife24 #FeelGood #Ahmedabad #HumseFitHeIndia #JioDilse #Fun #Exercise #Hydrate #FitFam #FitGirl #FitBoy (at Ahmedabad, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuV8hR1nBlZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10yeli6o1xfll

It was a 1974 Ford Escort that led Suzanne Naylor to engineering. When she started the somewhat overwhelming task of picking a study path, she had just purchased her sweet wheels and needed somewhere that had good parking – a problem familiar to most city dwellers. Her closest campus was not only an easy drive, but it had free parking. Job done – all she had to do now was pick a degree.
Because she loved the environment and animals, Suzanne went through and circled all of the courses that featured those two buzzwords. It also had to be a degree – to please her parents – and what was left at the end of that selection process was one unexpected choice: A Bachelor of Environmental Engineering. Up until then, Suzanne only had a vague picture of what an engineer was: hard hats, building sites, and male. To her, engineering was either structural or civil, bridges or buildings. But the course description ticked all her boxes, and meant she could ride her Ford Escort to classes in freedom. She was sold. And because she’d kept studying maths and science throughout high school, she went straight into the degree.
Fifteen years, and three children later, Suzanne, 34, is now Northern Networks Manager for Watercare. Her job, and her team, covers getting water and wastewater to and from most of Auckland and she manages one of the biggest maintenance contracts in New Zealand.It’s not just bridges and buildings, it’s everything. It’s making communities and cities work like clockwork. And when it comes to problem solving, it’s high stakes.
“You come to work every day and it’s like, ‘What’s going to happen today? What’s going to break today?’ You know the saying for the police, ‘get better work stories?’ I always say, ‘Engineering could smash that.’ We get the best stories.”
Fixing things forms the reactive part of being an engineer, but the other, bigger part of being an engineer is the creativity behind it. It’s not an exaggeration to say that everything that makes up our modern world was created by an engineer. And whether it’s a smartphone, an Airbus, an electric car, it’s not just about coming up with a solution. It’s about having the vision to create something the world didn’t know it needed, and now can’t live without. It’s having a blank slate, every day, and getting to work on filling it in.
For Suzanne, both her big-picture work and day-to-day role has revolved around the environment, just as her teenage self wanted. Her very first role at Watercare was in odour monitoring at the Mangere Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is exactly what it sounds like. It was for a summer student job at the time, and she applied with two friends for the role. One friend’s nose was too sensitive for the smells, the other’s wasn’t sensitive enough. In a Goldilocks-style twist, Suzanne’s nose was just right. It may not have been the most glamorous start, but it kicked off one heck of a career. Three months of nosing her way around the wastewater plant saw Suzanne moved to an environmental planning team, before moving into environmental compliance – both over in the UK for her OE, and then back in New Zealand. Her skills were both universal and in demand – Suzanne jokes that apart from the nose test, she’s never had an official job interview in her life as doors have continued to open for her as she’s moved throughout the industry.
“If you’re good at what you do, people will always want you. And at the end of the day, you can’t survive without engineers. There are a lot of opportunities for females to do well in engineering.”
It wasn’t always this way – there’s a reason why the stereotype of an engineer is, as Suzanne puts it, ‘Beard. Glasses. Pocket protector.’ But she’s already seen the shift in the industry in just her years of working there, and believes it’s only the beginning. While maths and science do play a part in the black and white background of a good engineer, it’s creativity and vision that elevate someone to being a great engineer.
“Engineers have to be leaders. You always have to make a decision, even when you’re new to the job. And you have to have passion – waking up and wanting to come to work each day is huge. You always want to learn more and push more and make things better. There’s also a combination of being both a really good team player but also having the ownership to work on your own thing. It’s quite an independent career, very much ‘you just do your thing and let me know if there’s a problem.’”
In 2009, Suzanne was made Headworks Engineer, which meant that all of the raw water assets like catchments, dams, water pipelines, aqueducts and tunnels fell under her jurisdiction. For the next six years, Suzanne and her team of 20 managed every aspect of the dams: the infrastructure, the communities they service, heck, even the fish who dwell within them, creating little pathways so they could move freely throughout the dams. This year, she became Northern Networks Manager for Auckland and her responsibilities got a little bigger.
“In the first 20 minutes of the meeting, there were 200 people out of water that we had to fix. Every day really is that different.”
The influence of technology and the internet has meant that a lot of industries are now scrambling to keep up with the pace of change. But not engineering. For one thing, they’re the people driving the change. And secondly, the creative streak that runs through engineers means they’re always looking for a different way to do things. The concept of learning the rules so you can then break them is at the heart of every engineer, who refuses to rest on the laurels of their last good idea.
“The coolest thing I’ve realised about being an engineer is that you really do make a difference,” Suzanne says. “Every day you come to work and at some level, you make a positive difference to something. And that’s a really good feeling.”
