We talk to Geoshua Tan, Vice President (Civil & Infrastructure Engineering) at CPG Consultants about what it actually means to build Singapore - from building bridges and tunnels to meeting complex project requirements. He talks about the biggest project he’s worked on, building deep beneath the surface - up to 50 metres underground, and why this blows his mind. We also debunk common engineering stereotypes and discuss what it takes to make it in the industry.
