Graduate experience​

‘As a Graduate Civil Engineer working within the safety network team, we come up with solutions to problems. Sometimes it’s going to sites to identify solutions, meeting with teams to discuss requests that come in from the community, or attending local council meetings. I feel a sense of pride with how I help the community through making our roads safer.’ – Marco Perea, Graduate Civil Engineer
