John Minehan Part 1, owner J R Minehan - Land & Engineering Surveyor

In celebration of Global Surveyors Day yesterday, please enjoy part 1 of my chat with John Minehan. With over 40 years of Surveying experience he has seen many changes within his career. From his early days in 1974 using a Wild T1A to 2021 with the latest in Lecia robotics.. John grew up in the north western suburbs of Newcastle not far from the University, and started his career in the steel works. He had ambitions of being a Draftsman and after many trips around the job merry go round he endured up settling into Surveying. John has been a part of the surveying industry for a long time and has held various positions of stature within ISNSW & other associations, always giving back to the profession & community. Now semi retired, he chooses the jobs that suit his lifestyle whilst also helping out other surveyors in a jam. It was an absolute pleasure spending a few hours chatting with John. I hope you enjoy his stories also.
