Q & A
What were your expectations before you joined?
I expected to primarily observe senior engineers and assist with minor drafting or modelling tasks. I anticipated a steep learning curve in applying theory to practice but assumed my technical contributions would be limited.
What was the reality? How was it different?
The role was far more hands-on than expected. I was entrusted with meaningful design responsibilities across multiple live projects, including stormwater system design, modelling, and compliance checks. Instead of passive observation, I actively contributed to project outcomes.
Most important lessons and why
The most important lesson was that engineering competence is built through initiative and collaboration. Actively seeking feedback and refining designs improved both my technical ability and communication skills. This was important because real-world engineering requires continuous learning, teamwork, and balancing technical, regulatory, and practical constraints.
Your value proposition to an employer
I can contribute effectively to stormwater and flood engineering projects while continuing to learn quickly. I bring hands-on experience with DRAINS, MUSIC, Civil 3D, and introductory TUFLOW modelling, along with strong collaboration and communication skills. I can demonstrate this through my direct contributions to live projects and positive feedback from senior engineers and clients.
How did this influence your career interests?
The internship solidified my interest in specialising in stormwater and flood engineering. Exposure to flood modelling and integrated water management showed me the impact of this work on communities, motivating me to pursue a technically focused role within a collaborative consultancy environment.
