“ But, honestly, achieving net-zero isn’ t just about building design. Your carbon footprint isn’ t just construction and operation, it’ s an entire supply chain. So, in my view, the entire industry still has a lot to do to achieve this.”
The quiet impact of engineering In an industry defined by vast physical footprints and complex technology, much of the actual engineering triumph happens out of sight.
“ I take pride in everything that I achieve, whether it’ s big or small,” Hatem reflects.“ Most of what an engineer does isn’ t publicly recognised. We solve a lot of complex problems every day, some of which get solved quietly on a Tuesday and don’ t quite count as much as anything that ends up in a magazine.”
Yet, driving the engineering vision for one of the region’ s premier data centre operators provides a powerful platform to shape what comes next.
“ I’ m proud of the opportunity to lead the engineering function for one of Australia’ s leading developers and operators,” Hatem says.“ I’ m also proud that I can meaningfully contribute to the industry and help shape the way we design and build digital infrastructure.”
