Prosple Australia/GradAustralia Profiles

Work hard, both inside and outside of university. This will set you up well when it comes time for applying for jobs and being able to easily answer interview questions.

Don’t focus on the grades, focus on understanding the content and its practical relevance (and the grades will come with it).

The best way to figure out what a job is actually like is by speaking to people in the field and trying it out yourself.

I thought about being a pilot, or an air traffic controller, but it was the ever-changing nature and challenges of the engineering profession that drew me in.

I’m currently working at the leading edge of systems engineering, helping design a new battlespace communication system for the Australian Defence Force.

As a structures engineer at Airbus I am a part of the in-service engineering team for the ARH Tiger an Australian Army Helicopter.

I spent my time off working in various coffee shops and going on ski holidays until I finally rediscovered my passion for aviation and returned to uni.

My favourite aspect of my current job is weight and balance. Previously, I have only worked on small planes in regards to this, so to try out my skills on an aircraft ten times bigger? Bring it on!
