Hydro Tasmania Graduate Stories

The biggest danger in society is the ‘you wouldn’t understand’ factor, it’s important to acknowledge that if someone isn’t an expert that doesn’t mean they can’t understand something if they want to.

Working interstate is a great way to experience a new part of the world. It combines elements of travel while also having a steady income!

There’s so much to learn and that’s the coolest thing about being an engineer. Everyone at Hydro is super happy to answer questions and share what they know as well, especially if you’re a grad!

Set yourself up as early as possible for your future. Take opportunities as they present themselves, make connections with people in your field, apply early and often for career starting positions.

The best part about being a grad at Hydro Tas is the emphasis they place on welcoming and guiding all of their grads. Most of the leaders I know who have been in the business for over 30 years began as a graduate engineer or BA.

The best part about my job is that every day is different. Even though projects can take months to complete, it is rare that you repeat a task and it always feels like progress.
