James Cook University Careers Directory Profiles

As with anything, a strong passion for what you are doing is essential – I have a passion for construction and can see myself enjoying working in this industry for the next 20+ years.

The Graduate program I am part of has been great for giving me a large exposure to many parts of the business.

The best thing about my job is that every day is different with my tasks varying depending on the stage of the project.

Work moves so quickly on-site and it’s amazing to see the planning which happens behind the scenes to make this happen.  I am also surrounded by a wealth of knowledge and everyone is always willing to take the time to explain why things are done a certain way.

I really enjoy meeting with landowners. This means we go offsite and get to explain to them what the process is with their land and understand their concerns. It helps you to understand a lot of the work that you are doing in the office, and you look forward to seeing the end product.

The rotation in projects allows you to meet new people all the time and being challenged to learn more every day.
