James Cook University Careers Directory Profiles

The most important part of my role is communication, keeping the team up to date throughout the day helps us all achieve our customers' requirements.

I love being able to work with a variety of people every day to help them achieve their goals. From helping them walk pain-free or returning to a sport or passion that requires functional movement – seeing the progression from where we started is so rewarding.

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.

What I love most about my job is how much I am learning. Every single day without exception I am gaining new knowledge and practicing my skills.

I have the most rewarding career and I do not think I could be happier with my decision of becoming a teacher.

Having a generous mentor I think has been key to my enjoyment and success on this second rotation.

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.

One of the biggest perks at Powerco is the flexible working hours, this allows me to balance my work with my other interests like cricket, squash etc.
