Hugh Tait Young Professional Engineer of the Year

摘要

In his role as Opus International Consultants Newcastle manager, Hugh Tait has grown the unit from just himself to eleven staff in two years, recruiting staff from overseas when locals could not be found. He oversees all technical and business matters in the Newcastle office, which services a wide range of clients. His procedures for forecasting and analysing staff utilisation are now used throughout Opus' NSW operations. With a previous career in the yachting industry, where parts for repairs are sourced from around the world and the yacht itself can be anywhere, Tait has developed a strong logistical skill set. He has adapted these skills to the management of large engineering inspection projects.
