As an Assistant Consultant for just over 1.5 years, I am part of a graduate program where every 6 months, I move into a different project to get a good idea of what working in the rail industry is like. I have been working on projects all over the east coast of Australia – working on the Suburban Rail Loop in Melbourne, the Sydney Metro West line in Sydney and the Queensland Train Manufacturing Program just outside Brisbane. On each project I get to try something new, including, working in systems engineering, quality assurance in civil engineering and some project management.

In addition to my regular work, there are a lot of learning opportunities too like attending conferences, being apart of the Engineers Australia Graduate Program, seminars and more. Every day is different but it’s been a really great opportunity to learn about engineering in the rail industry.
