Variety of tasks always keeps it exciting.

I am a graduate systems engineer. I assist with drafting engineering documents such as white papers, proposals etc. and I also review documentation such as assembly instructions. I assist with project management and supply chain tasks as well, including drafting hazard logs, and conducting customer visits and site visits.

Small changes to CAD models, drawing updates, design and assembly documentation. Version and change management of design documents.

It required a conversation with my manager, but I am now involved in technical mechanical work (which is my background). This involves completeing structural/mechanical calculations day to day and getting involved with modelling and simulating basic force applications and interactions. A lot of my day to day involves documenting designs and communicating with customers/end users of the equipment we maintain to ensure that planned solutions are the ideal solutions going forward.

As a graduate, I am provided with many learning opportunities through my work. I get to try new things all the time and learn from experienced engineers.

Working as a finance graduate, day-to-day responsibilities often tie directly into project/company reporting. There is a sense that the work being done is important
