VUW Women in Tech Profiles

My favourite thing about the job is being able to see all the hard work, planning and decisions you make manifest in a physical way. 6 months ago I was sitting in a room looking at plans of the noise walls and now I get to walk past the finished product. There is nothing cooler than that.

Both internships gave me totally different experiences and allowed me to see first-hand the broad range of opportunities that Downer has to offer. These internships were my first experiences working in the construction industry.

Enjoy your university life, get out there and learn as much as you can. You never know what you’re truly passionate about until you find yourself unexpectedly immersed at the moment.

Working on this project makes me understand more about the amount of work required to build a tunnel and appreciate more when I drive through one. 

I love that I have been given the opportunity to work on Australia’s largest infrastructure projects. I never thought that something like this was possible.

Some solutions I have heard have been quite innovative which firstly helps the project and secondly helps me to grow my knowledge and problem-solving skills.
