Ojasvi Gupta

I am a Project Engineer at Shell and a youth leader for a global peace organisation. I am committed to fostering a culture of vibrant humanism and respect for the dignity of all life, wherever I go.

Growing up, I experienced life in multiple countries; India, South Korea and finally Australia, where my parents settled when I was a young girl.

Passionate about a whole range of worldly topics and subjects, I graduated as an Electrical and Computer Systems Engineer from Monash University in Melbourne, and moved to Brisbane to work for Shell in my first full-time job in 2020.

Currently I work as a Project Engineer at Shell QGC’s Midstream LNG plant on Curtis Island and I particularly enjoy the daily ferry commute to/from the island.

It is my belief that each person contains within them an unlimited tank of wisdom, courage and compassion, and encourages each person to tap into their potential to flourish in their life and contribute to humanity.

As a Project Engineer, you work on projects which involve modification to existing facilities/assets – such projects can take anywhere from 6 months – multiple years before they enter construction.

A Project Engineer reports into a Senior Project Manager. This role oversees all aspects of project delivery including:

• meeting with clients to ensure their expectations and requirements are being met
• identifying potential design clashes or issues, and implementing solutions 
• managing subcontractors including procuring quotes, negotiating packages and scheduling works 
• sourcing all materials required
• tendering for new projects
• managing program and financial targets 
• quality assurance management and coordinating inspections and testing 
• stakeholder and traffic management -  liaising with clients and the local community
• ensuring safety and environmental compliance including all required documentation satisfies the company, client and legislative requirements.

As part of these works, you will travel to site quite frequently and interact with many teams to make sure you deliver a project successfully.

As a civil engineer each day you’re adapting to the new challenges on hand and working with your team to deliver a project safely, on time and to a budget. 

Truly no day is ever the same!
