      Undergraduate Process Engineer

      Year in Industry working in Process Engineering within the Solid Waste and Effluent and Encapsulation Plants design team.I was personally responsible for designing a resilience plan for an effluent treatment plant to function without power for up to three days whilst still taking in feeds from other plants. I led a team tasked with creating an initiative that would improve communication between the different areas of Operations Division. Over the year I developed many skills; working in multi-disciplinary teams, producing design calculations, testing plant equipment, optioneering, drawing implementation schematics and P+ID’s on AutoCad, working to tight deadlines and budgets, presenting to process engineers, project managers and board members.
