Jannik, what motivates you?
I’m motivated by making a difference in the world and seeing the impact of the work I do for people and communities, directly or indirectly. That applies both to my engineering work and my volunteering in the youth development sector!
Why did you get into engineering?
I got into engineering as I really enjoyed physics and understanding the world.
I also wanted to apply that knowledge to make a difference to people and society. Engineering has allowed me to do this, as well as apply some problem-solving skills!
You’ve just started a new graduate role as Fisher and Paykel Healthcare as a process development engineer, where do you see yourself in five years’ time?
I’m open to options, chasing wherever I can have an impact and thrive personally.
Likely still working in the engineering industry, gaining more hands-on experience before moving into consulting roles. I would love to be moving into leadership roles, mentoring interns and graduates, and passing on some of the knowledge I’ve being able gather at that point.
