Manukau Institute of Technology Careers Directory Profiles

I enjoy going into the ships and learning more about how electrical drawings are practically implemented in ships.

The coolest part of my job is being part of a company that helps our Navy defend, protect, and serve our country by making sure their ships and submarines are in their optimal state.

One thing that drew me to applying for the graduate programme at Contact is that they offer specialised work in some very unique places. For me, the ability to live in Central Otago on the Clutha River comes with the benefits of skiing, biking, surfing, hiking, all in some very sweet scenery. 

My favourite thing about the job is being able to see all the hard work, planning and decisions you make manifest in a physical way. 6 months ago I was sitting in a room looking at plans of the noise walls and now I get to walk past the finished product. There is nothing cooler than that.

The undoubted highlight of the Career Compass Program is having the opportunity to speak with a diverse group of people who were so passionate about their roles but the EY organisation.

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.

I work with a team who have extensive experience across all aspects of the financial realm, and their guidance has been invaluable to my professional growth.
