QUALIFICATIONS

What we look for in these roles:

• Completed your Mechanical Engineering degree by the end of 2024 or earlier .
• Attention to detail: You will be responsible for creating detailed designs and specifications and must pay close attention to detail to ensure the accuracy and safety of the work.
• Teamwork: Most engineering projects require collaboration and teamwork, so strong interpersonal and collaboration skills are essential
• Adaptability: Engineering is a constantly evolving field, and as a graduate engineer you should be able to adapt to new technologies and techniques.
• Problem solving: Engineering often requires finding creative solutions to complex problems. Good critical thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills are highly valued.
• Communication skills: The ability to communicate technical information in a clear and concise manner is important for a graduate engineer. This includes the ability to write reports, give presentations, and explain complex technical concepts to non-technical colleagues.
• Continuous Learning: Technologies and methodologies are constantly changing so staying up to date is an important attribute
• Creativity: have that innate ability to “think outside the box”
• Analytical ability: ability to think analytically to fully define a problem and develop solutions suited to the problem.
• Logical thinking: ability to understand how a system works, what can go wrong and how to fix it. This requires the ability to think logically and evaluate and understand each element that makes up the system
• Leadership: well-developed “human skills” so you can smoothly perform non-technical duties.
• Respect for health and safety protocols: this is more of a requirement than a skill but adherence to policies that aim to eliminate or mitigate risk is a necessity.
• Valid working rights in Australia
