Interview Script
Background – Success
My name is Yu Pak Hei, Peter. Most recently I have graduated with a Higher Diploma in
Management or Disciplined Services and am now studying part time at PolyU SPEED a
Bachelor of Science in Building Engineering and Management. I have attained some site
experience over the last two years; the first one as a site clerk with China State Construction
and secondly as an Assistant Building Services Engineer. These functions helped me to write
the reports, safety messages/communication with the contractors which were continuation of
the team work and project documentation.
My higher diploma and bachelor studies have provided me with the understanding of
building systems, engineering principles, and sustainability practices. Besides, I have learned
problem-solving and the discipline to use technical knowledge in the real life, which will be
of immediate application in this position.
Strengths
My key greatest strength is that I am reliable and safety-oriented, remained under pressure
and always organised. One quality that I believe I have and which is valuable in this position
is reliability and safety oriented. As an assistant engineer now, I have been maintaining and
operating building systems, processing procurement documents and dealing with suppliers. I
also know how to operate MS word and Excel and have some basic skills in AutoCAD
required to create site documentation and simple drawings. Also, based on my past job
experience, I realized the relevance of effective communication and documentation. Be it in
the development of safety messages or coordinating with contractors, I came to understand
that proper reporting avoids mistakes, enhances safety, and makes projects on time. Being a
bilingual individual, I would have the capacity to inform the local teams in Cantonese and in
English through written documentation.
However, development of drafting skills in AutoCAD is one area I am striving to improve.
Although at the moment I possess only the basic skills, I am actively engaged in developing
it, so that I was able to participate in the production of the accurate documentation and
drawings of the projects in a more productive way.
Situation & Fit for Crownity
The Building Services Engineer role with Crownity Engineering Limited appeals to me as it
will encompass project operation, planning, supervision and site coordination, which I
already participate in and am looking forward to enhance my skills in. A residential project
involves working with a main contractor so I would be in direct contact with clients,
consultants and government submissions which is exactly what I require to move forward to
becoming a chartered engineer. The practice of the maintenance and preservation of the
quality of the law and energy savings as well as the matter of my educational preparation
makes me attentive to what the law, and the practice in this field can provide me with and
what I can ensure that it can provide me with.
Value to Company
One way I will add value to Crownity is by providing quality on-site support services, correct
documentation and proactive communication with stakeholders. The slogans and safety
writing progress reports have helped me to stay within the details that may possibly prevent
any mistakes and wastage of time. I will be eager to learn more skills about other procedures
of project life cycles, develop my drafting in AutoCAD and help the team to ensure that the
installation will be provided in time and within the budget as per the statutes.
Conclusion
Overall, my combination of higher diploma training, continuing bachelor studies and direct
site experience fits well within the needs of this Building Services Engineer position. I have
the desire to develop with Crownity Engineering Limited, help to ensure quality site
coordination and provide quality building services.
