Rita Chiu, Senior Engineer
Since my early days as a Management Trainee in 2014, I have embarked on a remarkable journey with Towngas, one of Hong Kong’s leading energy groups. The two-year programme provided me with a solid foundation for my HKIE Scheme “A” training, a holistic understanding of the business, as well as invaluable exposure to the Chinese Mainland market.
Upon graduation from the programme, I worked as an Assistant Engineer in the Technical Development Section of the Distribution Operation Department. It was a great experience to be entrusted with designing and executing projects to enhance the efficiency, safety, and quality of medium to low-pressure underground gas pipe operations.
Two years later, I was promoted to the position of Engineer in the Operation and Maintenance Section, where I started leading my own team in helping manage excavation permits from the Highway Department. I also served as a liaison officer during emergency incidents, coordinating with external parties and preparing comprehensive reports to minimise future risks.
Hard work always pays off in Towngas – in 2021, I received the Outstanding Employee Award. Now, as a Senior Engineer in the Distribution Maintenance Section, I continue to contribute to Towngas’ success while striving for excellence in my field. My journey with Towngas has been enriching so far, and I look forward to reaching new heights in the future.
