Energy infrastructure: trends shaping a surge in investment and development 

In our first episode in this Engineering Reimagined series on ‘Engineering change’ in which we talk to engineers who are changing our world, Aurecon’s Tanya de Hoog sat down with John Hilton. They discussed John’s 50-year engineering career, how technology has changed over his half century in the industry and the seven personal traits they believe make an eminent engineer. Discover how John’s childhood curiosity in understanding ‘how things worked’ led him to a career in engineering and the one big project he’s most proud of.
