Stantec Australia Graduate Stories

As a young civil engineer who initially stumbled into the field without a clear understanding, each day has brought new lessons and challenges. I've come to appreciate that there are no unwise questions when seeking guidance.

The opportunity to work on large projects with experts from different fields to deliver a project that serves the community. It is fascinating to follow these projects from their inception, overcome any challenges that arise, and witness their progress.

Aside from working with extraordinary people, I think being able to see your own designs come to life is very enjoyable.

A part of my job includes estimating how many vehicle trips a new development will generate, and how we can distribute these trips for better traffic management and flow.

Clients and labourers look to you for advice and trust/value everything you say. One of the most rewarding aspects of engineering for me is seeing the progression of an idea, beginning with a need or want and walking the client through that journey to ending at a 12m deep concrete structure.
