Tertiary Scholarship Graduate: Paul-Philipp Hagg

Course of Study: Bachelor of Engineering with Honours

Tertiary Institute: The University of Auckland

Duration of Study: 2007-2010

Scholarship Received: 2007, 2008, 2009

Paul-Philipp puts a lot of his interest in engineering down to visiting his father at work at the Golden Bay Cement plant in Whangarei as a child. From a young age he was fascinated by the enormity of the cement plant and every trip to see his father at work only increased his interest in structures. Combined with a passion for building and designing things, it was no surprise then that he decided to study Engineering at University, specialising in Civil Engineering after his first year of study. The Trustees of EEF are very pleased to have been able to support Paul-Philipp in his studies and wish him all the best for the future.

“It gives me pleasure to inform you and Fletcher Building that I am now a graduate Civil Engineer, having graduated on Monday the 2nd May with a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Civil Engineering.

I would like to acknowledge the generous support that Fletcher Building has given me through the Employee Education Fund Scholarships.

I am currently employed by Fraser Thomas Consultants in Papatoetoe, South Auckland, and I look forward to the career that I have ahead of me. I plan to work for a few years now and then take some time off to explore the world.

I sincerely hope that one day I can work for Fletchers”
