Manukau Institute of Technology Careers Directory Profiles

Both internships gave me totally different experiences and allowed me to see first-hand the broad range of opportunities that Downer has to offer. These internships were my first experiences working in the construction industry.

Enjoy your university life, get out there and learn as much as you can. You never know what you’re truly passionate about until you find yourself unexpectedly immersed at the moment.

Working on this project makes me understand more about the amount of work required to build a tunnel and appreciate more when I drive through one. 

Some solutions I have heard have been quite innovative which firstly helps the project and secondly helps me to grow my knowledge and problem-solving skills.

Just remember, there are always people around us who we can speak to and ask for help.

A contractor like Downer is a great place to start in the Power industry because you gain an appreciation of what goes into maintaining and upgrading the power network as well as practical considerations that are required in the design phase.
