Check out our next EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT! Our people are our difference. Thank you for being a part of the team Timi Olumuyiwa!
Here is a little bit about Timi’s passion for his career:
“I am a Senior Geotechnical Engineer, and being able to contribute in improving quality of life is my passion. Dissecting raw data into understandable designs, reviewing drawings, reports, addressing difficult problems in the office and on site, to mentorship, that’s the big part. I don’t like the easy ones; the difficult projects are always exciting. You have more room to grow, creates unique opportunity to expand your experience, and provides the prospect to work with your colleagues with varying experience, and exchange ideas. In the long run you are contributing to society and the privilege to see this materialize in some cases is rewarding. Just the thought that you are actually improving the way of life for people. I would say that’s my biggest drive.”
Q: Why did you make the decision to join GEMTEC?
A: Prior to working with GEMTEC I was working for another company. The reason I came on board was because I was looking for a culture that’s focused on both the employee and client, that small family-oriented company, employee owned as well. An employee-owned company can give everyone the sense of bringing their own part and making their own mark on the company. So that is one of the major reasons.
Q: What is one thing you wish people knew about your job?
A: Most of the projects we do are usually below ground and buried. That is the unfortunate work of a geotechnical engineer, no one ever gets to see it. Our work is very important, it’s the foundation, it’s the bedrock of any infrastructural development, so if there is anything I would want people to know is that this is very important.
Q: What do you enjoy most about working with GEMTEC?
A: I’ve always enjoyed the culture of family, small, growing. Small enough to network and bond but big enough to still make a significant impact on projects, proving that we have life and keeping our environment. That is one good thing about GEMTEC. The other one, which is very important, GEMTEC has good people. People that want to listen and people that are mindful of your own welfare. The big one is having that drive to continue the growth and development of the people and our clients. If we do not have good people, we cannot have good clients or good projects. That is the big thing about GEMTEC, that we have good people. The other thing that comes to mind is the cross pollination of ideas. Primarily you walk on projects locally, but you have that opportunity to interact with other people in other provinces, like New Brunswick, Ottawa, etc. There is no wall separating everyone, it’s easy access to those people, the resources, that would expand your own thinking and your thought process as well.
