University of Newcastle Australia Career Directory Profiles

The perks of being in a team like mine is that I get to be involved in many different projects, for many different clients.

I love the variety of my work. If I haven’t mentioned it earlier, no day is the same! Whether it be the task I’m completing, the people I’ve met and spoken to or simply the Australian Government department audit I’ve been assigned for the period. There rarely is a boring day in the office!

For me, the best part of my job is going to site and scoping the machines / structures for defects that we need to remediate.

The coolest thing about being an engineer is being able to see large-scale projects come to fruition. Being able to build relationships within your team and other teams within the organisation is also very satisfying as well as being able to work within a team that everyone can thrive in.

The thing I love most about my job is that I get to work with a diverse range of interesting and passionate people to solve interesting and challenging problems in a variety of domains.

Alcoa aligned with my values and provided a structured graduate program with plenty of opportunities for professional development.

As a new graduate I have found it very beneficial to be able to connect with other colleagues and build my network. Working in financial governance I’ve had the chance to connect with colleagues outside of Group Financial Control.
