Prosple Australia/GradAustralia Profiles

It could have been challenging to juggle my family and work life if Hydro Tasmania didn’t value diversity and flexibility.

I have a team of highly professional engineers that are very skilled at what they do.

The single best thing though is working with brilliant people and I really value the team and the fantastic culture at Leidos.

Emma Birch studied Bachelor of Civil Engineering and Bachelor of Science – Geology & Geophysics at the University of Sydney and is now the Head of Asset Management Program Management Office at Hydro Tasmania.

The most rewarding thing for me as a senior engineer is when the customer is happy. Working with an amazing group of people to produce the best outcomes, build the relations and help the business to grow.

I love the lightbulb moment that people get when I am explaining something. Whether I am demonstrating our software in its development stages and people say “wow that’s amazing! I can’t wait until it’s finished!” or I am explaining some nuance of the way the military works – just what is an OODALOOP and why is it important to our software?
