In my current job, we work on small engineering designs like installing a new instrument or cabling for a pump. This means we often need to go out into the field and get photos to help with our designs and reports.
One of the main tasks we do is using the model and various data to understand the potential fibrous (asbestos) risk in areas set to be drilled or mined in the near future.
I feel very privileged to engage in this meaningful work, not only because I get to experience the heart of the outback, but also because we get to preserve and protect culturally significant sites for the Banjima people.
