About
There is a lot of construction going on! Our city is growing at a rapid rate and construction is happening all around us to provide housing, road and rail, and utilities like electricity and water. Providing this infrastructure has environmental consequences including releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide. Our visiting speaker, Gigi Yuen will share her journey from a conventional engineering career to sustainability advocate. With experience in oil and gas, project management, and aviation fuels, she will share her unique story of how her passion for sustainability led her to unexpected opportunities in Victoria's infrastructure projects. She will talk about her challenges, successes, and discuss the importance of leadership and coaching in developing rewarding career journeys.
Gigi is a qualified mechanical engineer with a passion for sustainability and leadership, with extensive expertise in project management and construction site operations.
