The Workshop presented by Aplin Martin

In today’s episode, we are diving into all things Young Professionals Group (YPG) with special guests David Lu, P.Eng., PMP, ENV SP, and Catherine Zhang, P.Eng., Chair and Vice Chair of YPG. The dynamic duo chat about the formation and evolution of the YPG group at Aplin Martin and delve into the value of creating a space for young professionals to learn, network, and play amongst their colleagues and peers in the industry. Since the recording of this episode, David Lu is now pursuing another opportunity within the industry. He agreed that there was no reason to hold back from releasing this episode, and we are very grateful to David for his time with the firm and his major efforts in bringing the YPG to life here at Aplin. We are also excited to see how the talented leaders in YPG, such as Catherine Zhang, Sajjad Rostami, and many others, continue to grow and advance the initiative. We know you will enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the YPG in Aplin.

Today we are sitting down with Jordan Lui and John Tanahara, two of our public sector Project Engineers based in our Surrey Central office location. The duo delves into the various elements that mold great mentor-mentee relationships and the intricacies required to prevent a culture of co-dependence. Jordan and John’s stories demonstrate the valuable connection that exists between a mentor and mentee and how it functions to deepen the relationship you have with yourself and develop the knowledge and confidence to succeed in your profession.

Today we are sitting down with Sarah Kean and Sean Wilkinson, two project managers from our Calgary land development team.

In today’s episode, Carlos Marcondes (Project Engineer) and Ryley Dewar (Project Engineer) from our Vancouver branch office delve into the lessons they have learned throughout the proposal and pre-design process and all that it takes to manage expectations before a public sector or land development project comes to life.
