The flexibility of a career in engineering

This episode is a perfect example of how engineering can bring about a freedom in your career that you didn’t know possible. The freedom to choose from an endless list of disciplines and roles, and the freedom to ‘pivot’ your career outside your specialisation into a direction you had never considered. Today we are joined by Clare Lavrencic as we talk about the unique freedom of engineering and the endless opportunities within engineering.Clare graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering (Biomedical). After graduation, she was able to secure a spot in the Rio Tinto Graduate program, in the Major Projects Project Management Office, working on multimillion & billion dollar projects building new mines in Queensland and NSW. Clare has worked hard to cultivate a reputation of tenacity and ability to grow, leading her to opportunities in the innovation and R&D space in Rio Tinto.   This episode is hosted by two of The University of Queensland's Women in Engineering student leaders; Kathleen Cox and Jess Rock.   Connect with Clare Lavrencic on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-lavrencic-07539837/ Connect with Kathleen Cox on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathleen-cox-142286184/ Connect with Jess Rock on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-rock-447223165/
