My role in the company and the projects I am involved in goes over and beyond what I would have expected coming into this job. The work is awesome and really allows me to grow in the technical space. There is plenty of opportunity for learning new software.

As a graduate engineer I thought that I would not get put on many larger projects, and would end up doing smaller tasks here and there. However, the company trusts their graduates and allows us to participate/take on larger projects.

A good portion of my grad role was spent on site being the designer's site rep for an airport job. This allowed me to learn alot in a short amount of time, especially around how to deal with contractors from a consultants perspective. In saying that, I did miss out on design opportunities that I otherwise would have if I wasn't full time on site. Only after my grad role ended I started getting more design experience.

Started off working in a different role than expected so didn't enjoy it that much. But now have more design experience and enjoying what I do.

I work both in the field and in the office doing geotechnical investigations and writing geotechnical assessment reports. I do spend more time in the office than in the field, but I am happy with this ratio.

Currently I mostly get delegated little work packages from larger pieces of work. This means I need to be on top of my own workload and let people know in advance when I'm going to be light so I can get more work

Water Engineer - Mainly design of water systems/networks etc. lots of CAD and 12d work which has been interesting to learn. Work has been steady but has been periods where work is light which has made some weeks difficult to remain focused and engaged but when the work is there it has been great.

I am a transport planner, my role, which varies depending on work, is currently focused on data analysis and producing GIS outputs to support interventions we are proposing. I also work on reports that summarise these findings. I work on getting reports started for pieces of work, and review and respond to client comments.

day to day I mostly work in commercials and financials which I enjoy, however it is hard to get someone to take over some of your work so some of my work is not stimulating any more but there doesn't seem to be anyone else to hand it over to.
