I started working as a Safety Engineer in the Energy industry in Europe. I then moved to a fly-in fly out role in New Caledonia during the construction and commissioning of a nickel process plant. 

When I relocated to Australia, I decided to go back to university to study a Master of Engineering whilst I was getting my French Engineering degree recognised by Engineers Australia. I went on to become Chartered and Registered Professional Engineer, and now I am also Fellow member of EA.

I have had many fulfilling engineering roles in Australia, from process engineer, commissioning engineer, senior operations engineer to engineering manager, and now process safety manager. I have so often been the only woman in my work environment, and I am very passionate about making sure that girls and women are provided with equal opportunities to thrive in their career and choose the role they aspire to.

It is also essential they work closely with all engineering disciplines, including senior leaders, and frontline operations to ensure that controls are in place and maintained to prevent process safety incidents. The Process Safety Manager provides governance and direction for the process safety management framework, and the process safety key performance indicators.

A Process Safety Manager can also be regularly invited to speak at conferences and external events.

I saved all my money in my gap year which funded a working holiday to Canada for the following 12 months. When I returned, I enrolled into a CERT IV in Veterinary Nursing which is a two-year job-based certificate which I completed in 2018. In between completing this course, I worked at two different vet clinics and worked rurally on a 400,000-acre station.

I then wanted to study to get a trade and move into a resource industry. There just happened to be apprenticeships advertised in my local area (Dalby). I started a CERT III in engineering (Fitting) in 2019 and completed it in 2022. I moved into a fulltime tradesperson role in 2022 and haven’t looked back.

The Technician also inspects equipment, and systems to identify any issues. Repairing faulty equipment units and damaged structures is an ongoing task. Developing and implementing preventative maintenance procedures is also involved.

This includes the following stages:

1. Initiating: Before the project commences, the project manager defines the main objectives, purpose, and scope, shared expectations, and determines how to move the project forward.
2. Planning: Project managers work with stakeholders to create a project plan. Scope, cost, timelines, and risk are all defined. This is not set in stone; it is an evolving plan that doesn’t end until the project does.
3. Executing: This is the phase where the team executes the work defined in the project plan.
4. Monitoring: This phase begins at the beginning of the project and continues until closing. During this phase, a project manager monitors project progress and the budget, as well as making sure key milestones are reached, and compares performance against the plan.
5. Closing: Reviewing work that is completed and formally signing off on the project.

Ten years ago, I moved from Sweden to Australia and now call the Gold Coast home. It was a scary decision since I moved without having a job to come to, but it didn’t take me long to find one and I have been with Energy Queensland in different positions ever since.

My current role as a Project Manager at Yurika is completely different from where I started many, many moons ago as a graduate engineer within Ericsson.

UNIQ You is a fantastic opportunity for me to give back and show that choosing a path into a STEM career will give you so much more than the university program you chose. Your degree is only the foundation and the start of your own journey.

My very first job as an 18-year-old was working for an electricity company in Canberra. It’s amazing to me, that after about 23 years working at different companies in WA, NSW and Queensland, I am now working in the largest government owned electricity company in Australia and loving it. 

I do not have a university degree but have been committed to learning as much as I can throughout all of my roles. Knowing how to communicate effectively has been the key to getting me where I am. I am very grateful!

It’s the Senior Project Engineer’s role to plan the work that needs to be done, arrange the resources required to do it, implement and manage the work to ensure it’s being done safely, on time, on budget and to specification. 

The key tasks of a Senior Project Engineer include team coordination, risk management, change management, assurance, engineering, financial controls, procurement, governance, contract and contractor management. 

As the role works across multidisciplined teams, individuals will learn a little bit about everything! This role involves site visits to project locations to ensure an adequate level of oversight and connection are maintained throughout the project.

I’ve spent most of my career in FIFO roles, either supporting drilling operations or on construction projects. In these roles I’d spend up to 4 weeks at the work location, then go home and have up to 4 weeks off! I travelled A LOT working at remote locations across Australia, New Zealand, UAE and PNG. Think deserts, jungles, rigs in the middle of the ocean!

For the past two years I’ve had ‘office’ jobs in power generation and, now, renewable hydrogen projects. I also co-chair our Origin gender equity network and am an Origin Energy Foundation Ambassador. Being able to advocate for the things I’m passionate about as part of my job makes it 10x better!
