Graduate Success Stories

The coolest thing about my job is seeing the end product. We have so many people working here, and so many different processes that it is easy to get lost and forget the end goal. But part of my job involves seeing the gold at the end and knowing that all the hard work we all do is very much worth it!

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.
