Conor Graham, Graduate Engineer
“The whole business is structured in a way that encourages you to continuously learn and grow. In my opinion, there’s no better place to grow a career in the power industry than at Energy Queensland because it covers such a broad range of disciplines - there are disciplines within disciplines. All of them require new frontiers in problem solving that would satisfy anyone who loves finding exciting new solutions.”
Raul Roa, Senior Technical Business Analyst
“My managers understood the challenges of balancing study and work and offered a lot of support along the way. This experience gave me an opportunity to understand a lot of the concepts around information technology and get a better understanding of what’s happening in the industry. After I graduated, I was able to transfer that knowledge directly into my role at Energy Queensland.”
