Job Satisfaction at Babcock Australia & New Zealand

Graduate Electronics Engineer.

I am currently shadowing the assistant project manager and project manager on the HMAS TOOWOOMBA SRA13 project. I have been assigned with filling out admin cancellation requests and task deferral requests, submitting the documents onto WAMA SharePoint and tracking the progress on SharePoint. Communication with WAMA SPO is required when clarification is needed on the admin cancellations and task deferral requests. The assistant PM and I have a separate Task tracker spreadsheet, in which we update and document the TPCC's, ACR's, TDR's and Contingency record. I am tracking and updating the document daily. I have also been assigned with taking down meeting minutes at our weekly IPT meetings. Alongside working on the TOOW project, I am also still currently facilitating the ship staff Babcock inductions for HMAS Stuart IMAV11 and assisting the Project administration when help is needed.

Effectively nothing. Optimistically, I might say "at the moment," but I have no experience to tell me I will have actual responsibilities any time soon.

As a Graduate I have plenty of support where I require it, but also the freedom to make my own decisions. The tasks I work on are dependent on what is required for my project, and vary in nature.

My every day role includes providing support to all programs to ensure that they are able to achieve their project management goals.

a combination of routine tasks and ad hoc jobs.

I am a Graduate Mechanical Engineer. My day-to-day sees me working with one of our project's subcontractors to review their design and technical documentation.

As a graduate engineer, I am shadowing senior members of the team and providing meaningful contributions to the workload.

I conduct technical investigations and solve problems for the customer.

Day-to-day role includes, report writing, inspections, engineering advice around the sustainment of the RAN fleet.

I would like more technical work, especially as a grad but there are not many opportunities to do so

Safety engineering role. Generally consistent day-to-day responsibilities with new responsibilities yet to come.

Graduate Program tasks and courses, MID task such as surveys, structural calculation checks and some quality assurance tasks

I'm lucky in my role that I'm given a lot of autonomy to pursue projects in a manner i think is best. Whether this is researching on topics to improve my understanding so I can convey my findings or developing technical papers. This is refreshing when compared to just being given a task/deadline to just repeat the same processes over and over again to the point of stagnation.

Currently i am finding the gaps in the GSE Engineering Acquisition side and creating frameworks to support the engineers in the PM space

Data collection and processing, developing waste and water management plans for sites, understanding and ensuring compliance for legislations and contracts, developing aspects and impacts for sites, and dealing with any other environmental issues that may arise.

My role as a graduate procurement and supply chain graduate is everchanging. That is because the teams I have worked in within the unit I am apart of have all assigned me different work. In general, my day-to-day responsibilities include assisting with warehousing operations as required, completing warehousing processes like receipting, and completing assigned work. At present, I am working on a guide for workers in one warehousing team and have completed other work like updating documentation or inventory locations.

I enjoy my day to day responsibilities, depending on my schedule i spend alot of my time towards improvement activities, projects i have been tasked with or environmental inspections.

As mentioned, I'm in a functional role which means I don't do any technical engineering. I have been dealing with digital SharePoint tools, writing policies, and assisting with internal procedures. While this is important work to an extent, it isn't what I wanted to do, and I had no say in the matter.

I do enjoy my responsibilities, however there are other areas that id like to get more experience in.
