As someone whose greatly passionate about protecting our environment, it’s rewarding to see how heavily sustainability is integrated within all dimensions of the Level Crossing Removals Project, from design to construction.
As an engineer, I like to critically analyze the designs and the plan we execute on the ground, whether it is the drill and blast designs or the mining method the excavator is executing.
Being able to see the public catching the trains and trams that I’ve worked on brings a great sense of satisfaction and it feels that you are contributing to society.
I’m currently responsible for intercompany (in Corporate), which involves working with the other divisions on recharges between their division and Downer EDI.
I really love being able to do this as it reminds me of my time in the grad program acting as a buddy in my second year (but obviously with more of a career focus).
Some of my tasks are tracking and paying invoices for work completed by consultants, preparing fee proposal requests, and reviewing budgets for the current and future phases of the project.
