Civil Engineering March 2021 7 Qu i z Our seventh Know Your Sector Competition winner! Our latest competition winner, Hanro Marks, received the news of his win on a day when he and his colleagues had joked about never winning lucky draws. High fives and ice creams all round followed for a very excited Hanro and his colleagues. In addition to celebrating with the team at PBE Consulting Engineers, Hanro will use the money he won to pay some of his bills and take his partner for a romantic dinner. “Covid-19 has hit most of us in the industry quite hard,” he said, adding, “During these times, our faith must be strong.” Hanro went on to quote Martin Luther King Jr: “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” Hanro, a registered Pr Techni Eng, is a structural and civil engineer at PBE. “I love to see the development of South Africa. The phases and people involved on construction projects show how a group of people who don’t know each other directly can work towards the same goal to make a success of what they are involved in,” said Hanro, who enjoys watching new develop- ments bring changes to the world and the industry. In his free time Hanro enjoys cycling, spending time with loved ones, and traveling locally and internationally, although much of this has been difficult during the pandemic.  Know Your Sector Competition Stand a chance to win R10 000 in cash!
