Meet the team
Suzanne Armour, frontline reception
What is your role and responsibility in this project?
I control visitor access as well as all machinery movements through the main gates to ensure that community are kept safe. As I’m based in the small office outside the main site, I meet a lot of people who ask questions about the project and I help answer these – or find someone in the team who can! It’s been great to get to know the community in which we’re working. With the increased health and safety procedures in place during COVID-19, I also record the temperatures for those working on site to help keep us all safe.
What do you enjoy about working on this project?
I really enjoy the interaction with community as well as being part of a great team. I feel privileged to contribute to the project and hope that sharing a smile and greeting everyone makes a difference in a small way. I’m also currently learning Te Reo Māori at the local Te Puea Marae, located at Māngere Bridge.
What is the outcome you’d like to see at the end of construction?
A majestic bridge that will become iconic and part of the history of the area. I’m looking forward in revisiting the bridge in years to come and feel proud knowing that I was associated with the team who built it! The awesome relationship I have made with community along the way will be part of the memories I cherish for a long time.
