Meet Tyna Ashby, one of our experienced site managers who has been part of the Camex team for the past six years.
âMy role is about leading the team, making sure everyone knows what needs to happen, and keeping things moving on site. A lot of my time goes into planning work programmes, solving problems as they come up, and making sure the team has what they need to get the job done to a high standard.
Iâm currently leading our site team for the Hopuhopu development project near NgÄruawÄhia. Over the years Iâve worked across a range of projects throughout the Waikato, including subdivisions, civil works, and slip repairs. Every job brings something different, like coordinating subcontractors, managing traffic on public roads, working around rivers and streams, and adapting when the weather doesnât play ball. Itâs all about being prepared and planning ahead where you can.
Something people might not realise is how much happens before any machinery even starts moving. A big part of my role is developing the methodology for each job, deciding what plant and equipment is needed, sequencing the work, and always having a Plan B. Winter weather can change quickly, so I like to keep a few "rainy day" jobs up my sleeve to keep the team productive when conditions aren't ideal.
Outside of work, Iâm a typical family man whoâs still trying to find that perfect work-life balance! Spending time with my family is what matters most, and when I get the chance, I enjoy getting out for a hunt or a fish. Itâs my way of switching off, clearing my head, and letting the pressure of work cool down.
What keeps me motivated is always trying to be better than I was yesterday and continuing to learn along the way. Iâm far from perfect, but I believe your biggest teacher is your last mistake. Every challenge is a chance to improve, learn something new, and become a better leader. That mindset keeps me motivated to give my best every day.â
