Mona graduated from Auckland University with a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, First Class Honours. After working in local manufacturing operations, she pursued fire engineering studies at Canterbury University in 2016. Knowing Michael James and Origin Fire by reputation, Mona chose to join the company for its competent team and supportive structure.

At Origin Fire, Mona’s role as Technical Operations Manager ensures the smooth operation and continuous improvement of all technical aspects of business processes and systems. As the Fire Engineering Team Leader, she supports and motivates the team, ensuring the control and quality of deliverables.

Mona enjoys working with people from diverse backgrounds, including engineers, architects, project managers, and clients. A particularly memorable project was working with the Marae Infrastructure Programme team from Auckland Council, where she learned about Maori culture and contributed to making maraes safer for the community.

Mona approaches problem-solving by making informed decisions based on available information and seeking team assistance when needed. She encourages team members to think of solutions themselves to foster collective development. Challenges in balancing engineering and management responsibilities are met with flexibility and support from her team.

To stay updated with industry trends, Mona participates in workshops and seminars from SFPE, Engineering NZ, and ACENZ, and attends leadership courses from the Institute of Managers and Leaders. Origin Fire’s training schedule also facilitates knowledge sharing among team members.

Her professional goals include taking on more business responsibilities and helping junior engineers progress in their careers. Outside of work, Mona enjoys spending time with her family, her son, and their two cats.

“Working with people from diverse backgrounds, including engineers and project managers, enhances my professional development and contributes to the continuous improvement of our projects at Origin Fire.”
