Our first graduate trainee completed his 2-year comprehensive Scheme A programme!
27 July 2023
Congratulations to Ario Lau, our first graduate engineer trainee who has completed a 2-year comprehensive Scheme A programme with SYGNA.
Sygna was approved by The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers in 2021 to offer Scheme A training for our young professional engineers. This two-year comprehensive training aims to develop and nurture graduates in achieving the goal of becoming an engineer, and today, we are happy to have a quick chat with Ario to share his journey with us.
Please share a bit of your background?
I graduated from the University of Nottingham in July 2020 with a MEng in Mechanical Engineering. I joined Sygna in September 2020 as a graduate engineer.
How do you feel upon the completion of the program?
I am happy to have completed the HKIE Scheme "A" Graduate Training. I am grateful to all my colleagues that have supported and guided me throughout this 2-year journey.
The biggest challenge so far in this 2-year journey?
Time management was my biggest challenge. I had to carefully plan and prioritize my tasks, so that I was able to fulfill work responsibilities, such as attending site tests, reviewing method statements, updating trackers, etc., as well as the demands of my Scheme A Graduate Training program.
Share one of your memorable project?
My first data hall project was definitely one of the most memorable projects so far. It was a fast-paced project that helped me gain insight into the work process at Sygna. Despite being new, I felt supported by my colleagues who were willing to teach me and help me gain a better understanding of the systems involved.
How do you think SYGNA has assisted you through the journey so far?
Sygna's resource library has provided me with the tools and information needed to learn and grow both professionally and personally. Having access to a resource library containing journals, standards, and guides has been instrumental in facilitating my learning and growth. The standards and guides provided me with guidelines on best practices, whereas the journals kept me up to date with the latest research and development in our industry.
Favorite motto?
Always be open to new beginnings. To the universe, every moment is the start of the next big thing in your life.
If you are a final-year student or recent graduate with a major in Mechanical, Electrical, or Building Services Engineering, and would like to be developed in the Testing & Commissioning field, please send your CV at joinHKG@sygna.com
