Charles Darwin University Careers Directory Profiles

Preparing for the Graduate Program for me started during my university time. I made sure that I had previous work experience in the engineering/construction industry while studying.

I like to take some time to reflect on any achievements and engage with mentors or continue to develop my skills.

Being ambitious, it is easy to put 100% focus into work and let things such as social life and exercise slip.

The most interesting aspect has been the numerous sites I’ve had the opportunity to be involved in. It’s an eye opener to see the challenges that arise delivering a project on site compared to what’s been written on paper.

This has been the perfect environment in which to grow.

You must learn to not plan too much for the day ahead, the work is fast-paced and constantly changing.

I prepared for the Graduate Program by keeping an open mind about my rotations and what I was going to learn on the job.
