QU I Z S AICE’s Know Your Sector Competition is the first competition that Shahir Singh has ever won, and he was thrilled upon hearing the news. Shahir is a recent graduate employed as a Candidate Civil Engineer at SANRAL’s Technical Excellence Academy. He is currently based on site on the N3 upgrades from Lynnfield Park to Ashburton in KwaZulu-Natal. “From a little boy, I was always fascinated by huge structures and bridges. Witnessing the development of the Umgeni and Umhlanga Interchange was the key factor in me choosing to study civil engineering,” he says. “Now, seeing the progress and change in the environment that I am working in is the most intriguing part about working on site. I get to witness it first-hand and be a part of the change. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and pride to see a project progress.” Shahir enjoys spending his free time at the beach fishing, playing golf, and working on cars. He aims to pur- chase a vehicle soon, and his R10 000 prize money will assist with a deposit. “I would like to thank SAICE for presenting this mega opportunity, it is certainly life changing,” he adds.  Celebrating another R10 000 winner
