The graduate program encourages a rotation of roles every 3 - 6 months to gain a wide understanding and a range of experiences to take forward on my career as an engineer.
I’m currently responsible for intercompany (in Corporate), which involves working with the other divisions on recharges between their division and Downer EDI.
My current rotation has me developing and implementing the technical maintenance plan for two fleets, taking it them from development through to delivery.
My first rotation in the bid team was predetermined and chosen for me. However, we provide input on which part of the business we would like to work in.
If I can find a solution that saves people time or makes their life easier then I’ll always enjoy that task – whether through discussions, data analysis or a process change.
My daily work involves solving different problems with varying levels of difficulty, and in most cases, it involves engaging with various stakeholders.
I love sitting in on the monthly project management report reviews and learning about the events that have occurred on a project, learning what a ‘substation’ and a ‘transformer’ is.
Being able to see the public catching the trains and trams that I’ve worked on brings a great sense of satisfaction and it feels that you are contributing to society.
