UQ EUS Career Fair, 14th March 2025

Engaging with engineering students at The University of Queensland during the UQ EUS Career Fair is always a privilege. It provides a wonderful opportunity to share insights into the unique and rewarding career of a geotechnical engineer in the mining industry.

Our committee members, Jon Burton and Ben Yang, had numerous conversations with the students, discussing potential career paths for those studying Civil, Geotechnical, and Mining engineering. Many of our team members come from technical or academic backgrounds and are now managing principal hazards in mining. There’s nothing more fulfilling than using engineering expertise to enhance safety and improve daily operations.

In addition to our quarterly technical sessions, we are also offering scholarships to undergraduate and higher research students for the Bowen Basin Geotechnical Research Program. Come and check it out!
