My favourite thing about the job is the responsibility you get given. Even when you have only been there for a week, you are joining meetings and are considered a critical part of the team.
Having great management, organizational, and communicative skills is helpful for this role but the main thing someone would need when wanting to work in this role is the willingness to learn.
The versatility of having days where I am working at a water treatment site that supplies the water we drink and knowing I am indirectly impacting the way we live versus sitting in an office and tapping into my problem-solving skills to find a solution.
The coolest thing about my job is the autonomy I have. Even as an intern I have control over my daily schedule. I can choose if I’m working at the office or from home. I can choose what tasks I prioritise and control the flow of my work.
