To prepare for the site work, I help the geotechnical engineer and senior engineering geologist carefully pick the borehole locations among an array of buried underground services.
The work has been challenging but doable, and as my time goes on in the program, I feel I can give more back to my team and the projects they’re running.
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.
I work on a broad range of projects including public transport infrastructure such as train stations and car parks, renewable energy facilities, major highway upgrades, housing developments, and road safety audits of existing road networks.
The main limitation, however, is whatever you limit yourself to. If you are willing to learn and not take things personally, then you can learn more and thrive.
