Across all industries, including construction, the adoption of AI is rapidly gaining momentum.

PROFILE: My journey to Professional Registration - Leuta Leuta

Civil Engineering Technologist Leuta Leuta shares his journey to Professional Registration


Professional registration had always been a goal that I had set my mind to ever since my early years in the industry. Key to the journey is discipline, commitment and staying unshaken on your goals. Having to find balance between work, personal life and documenting my reports to get ready for registration was challenging but worth it in the end because my career prospects improved with my professional registrations.

Embarking on this journey requires Hardhat Professionals to be prepared mentally, emotionally, and physically because it takes your last bit of energy to collate and consolidate previous experience documentation to relate it into required reports. Balance is key. The journey is long but worth it at the end. I also aligned myself with industry professionals with the same passion, mission and placed myself into a mentorship programme to ensure that my skills, experience, energy, and mindset are channeled to the right direction- the road to professional registration.

Leuta Leuta is a Civil Engineering Technologist registered as a Professional Technologist (PrTechEng) and a Professional Construction Project Manager (PrCPM) with 13 years’ experience in a range of projects including buildings, roads and bridges.  His experience includes project management, construction and contracts management (both Professional services contracts and construction contracts), engineering design and management and managing LIC methodologies on projects.
