Ecolibrium checks in with a young engineer working for A.G Coombs Projects, based in Moorabbin in Melbourne’s south-east.
Specialty
My ambition is to specialise in offsite prefabrication processes and working to develop standardised design approaches for modular manufacture..
Passions
I am passionate about environmentally conscious design and encouraging girls and young women to get into STEM fields.
Coping with COVID-19
I’ve coped with the pandemic by making the best of working from home, making time for self-care, and reading books … lots of books.
HOW HAVE YOU COPED WITH COVID-19?
I really enjoy problem solving and challenging myself, which is essentially at the core of everything I do as an engineer.
Challenges
I am challenged by my own lack of experience and knowledge; it can sometimes slow me down, which is frustrating.
What would like, but don’t have?
That’s a hard question to answer. The first thing that came to mind is a new ute.
Reasons for optimism
I am optimistic about where my career will take me and being a part of the future advancement of our industry.
