I work to protect and improve water quality at mine sites across the world. I work with exploration geologists to identify problematic rocks that could cause contamination and work with operational mine sites to ensure the problematic rocks are managed appropriately. I focus on leaving a non-polluting mine site at mine closure and to help…
As an environmental engineer, working in heavy industry and mining, I work with different sites to make sure they consider the impact they will have when operations finish. I help them to find better ways to operate to decrease their footprint. I work with all the teams on site to consider how the decisions they…
A data scientist is someone who uses data to solve problems and help people make better decisions. They collect information from different sources, clean it up, and look for patterns or trends. Using tools like statistics, computer programming, machine learning and AI, they turn raw data into useful insights. Data scientists often work with teams…
They lead a team of Agile practitioners, including Scrum Masters and Release Train Engineers, who advocate for Agile values and principles. They promote the adoption of Agile frameworks, tools, and standards within the organization. They provide coaching and mentorship to leaders, teams, and individuals to enhance their Agile maturity. This includes leading initiatives to foster…
An underground mining engineer designs and manages underground mining operations, ensuring efficient mineral extraction. They can oversee the construction and maintenance of mine infrastructure, including ventilation and safety systems where ensuring compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory standards is crucial. They provide technical support and optimise mining processes using specialised software. Effective communication with stakeholders…
Business analysts improve company performance by identifying issues with current business activities and/or systems and driving solutions to these problems. They collect relevant data and use tools to determine the impact and criticality of the problem. This allows their team to judge whether they should address the problem and when. They then work with stakeholders…
Data Analysts are responsible for collecting, precessing, and analysing data to identify trends and provide insights that drive decision making. They work with various tools and techniques, such as SQL, Python, R, and data visualisation platforms like Power BI and Tableau, to transform raw data into meaningful information. By identifying patterns, solving business problems, and…
Development Analysts and other roles in the Development Team, like Project Developers and Development Managers, work on developing renewable energy projects such as wind and solar farms and batteries, getting them to the stage of being ready to build. They find suitable land, talk to landowners, get government approvals, and design the projects with help…
Traffic and transport engineering is at the intersection between engineering and human behaviour and influences how people use transport infrastructure. Traffic and transport engineers are involved in the planning, design, delivery, maintenance and operation of the transport system. This includes public transport, roads and bridges, and walking and cycling infrastructure to support the movement of…
Civil Engineers for Transport and Main Roads planning team identify and plan projects to improve our roads. Projects range from small to large. A small project may include reviewing an existing intersection and identifying line marking and signage changes to improve safety (under $500k). A large project could be designing a new bridge to increase…
Renewable engineers are responsible for developing renewable energy projects. They assist by identifying a development opportunity through to design, grid connection and operations and maintenance. The role is a mix of problem solving, technical project work and collaboration, to ensure renewable energy sites and systems are working optimally. Graduate engineers are exposed to diverse business…
