After eight years with HydroVac Auckland, Sanjay briefly stepped away to broaden his experience in project management, leadership, marketing, and sales. Now he’s back on board – in Wellington, this time, thriving in the fast-paced, team-driven environment, where every day brings a new challenge. Here’s a quick Q&A with Sanjay.

Q. What made you want to work for HydroVac?

Q. How do you relax?
A. I like to relax by going to the gym and working on projects in the garage. It helps me unwind and stay active.
