LAM Tsz Ching, Sarah
BSc (Hons) Environment & Sustainable Development, 2018

After my graduation, I started working in ATAL Engineering Limited as a Graduate Trainee in the environmental discipline of HKIE Scheme A training until now. I have been assigned to the Sewage
Waste Department handling the sewage treatment works and sewage pumping stations of both Drainage Services Department (DSD) and the private sectors.

As an engineer, I am responsible for tackling every issue associated with the projects, including engineering design, proposal submission, procurement, site works and operation. Although there is a

demanding workload as I always have to concurrently follow up with several projects, it is a challenging and meaningful job. My duties are listed in details in the chart below.

As an environmental engineer, we are expected to control the environmental pollution with our knowledge and technology to maintain a better living environment. During my 2.5 years of training in ATAL, I have been involved in numerous treatment processes, ranging from primary sedimentation to tertiary, sludge and foul gas treatment. I have also learnt how to alter the design in order to suit the actual condition with maximum effectiveness in terms of costing and treatment performance. Therefore, I am glad that I am one of the graduates of PolyU ESD, which paves the way for me to develop my career in environmental engineering.
