The power industry is growing rapidly and offers a wide range of opportunities. My advice is to explore what excites you the most whether it's technical engineering, planning, or project management because every role plays a crucial part in the energy transition. Key areas to consider include grid connections, planning and infrastructure, asset management, and grid protection and security. The industry is open to anyone who is passionate about driving change, so stay curious, build your knowledge, and take every opportunity to gain hands-on experience.
Who am I
I grew up in the Latrobe Valley, where my family has long been involved in the power industry. From a young age, I was fascinated by electricity and new technologies, which led me to pursue a double degree in Electrical Engineering and Finance at Monash University. This journey has been both challenging and rewarding, allowing me to develop a strong technical foundation. Outside of my studies, I enjoy staying active, traveling and exploring the history of the places I visit.
Why I chose a career in power
The power industry is undergoing a massive transformation, driven by emerging technologies and the transition toward more sustainable energy production. This shift brings a new set of challenges that demand innovative solutions. I’m eager to contribute to this evolution, as the opportunity to work in an industry that directly impacts energy security and environmental sustainability is what excites me the most.
Where it all started
The rapid pace of innovation and technological advancements in the power industry makes it an exciting field to be a part of. The opportunity to contribute in a variety of aspects, such as grid modernization, renewable energy integration, energy storage solutions, and smart infrastructure, is particularly inspiring. Beyond the technical challenges, working towards a more sustainable and secure energy future is deeply rewarding, as it plays a crucial role in ensuring Australia's energy security and ability to effectively transition to a clean grid
My work experience.
What's next?
I have gained diverse experience across various sectors within the energy and engineering fields.
I worked as an intern designing electric vehicle chargers at JET Charge. I am not currently employed in the power industry, I am looking to secure a graduate role for 2026.
At Powercor, I was part of the Vegetation Management, where the team was responsible for mitigating risks of unmanaged vegetation improving the safety and reliability of our grid through using LiDAR technology
My thesis focuses on the insulation lifetime of additively manufactured coils in electric drives, with relevance to insulation in both transformers and transmission.
Additionally, I was involved in Monash Motorsport, working on the university's electric race cars safety systems, further strengthening my hands-on experience in power and automotive engineering.
