A second Kiwi engineer is working on the world's tallest new tower and the first kilometre-high building.
Hamilton-born Damien Fletcher is working with Greg Sang, the Aucklander who last month said he had moved from a key role on the world's current tallest building, Dubai's Burj Khalifa, to Hong Kong and now to Saudi Arabia's Kingdom Tower in Jeddah.
Fletcher, 37, a civil engineer educated at Unitec, said he had initially worked for Mainzeal, Downer, Fulton Hogan and Dominion in New Zealand.

"My most noteworthy projects back home would include Britomart Station, the Lumley Centre, and Precinct apartments [in Lorne St], all being reasonably iconic projects at the time," Fletcher said.
