Mitch Dawson – QCoal Northern Hub

 

During his Engineering studies, Mitch took part in two Vacation Program placements with Thiess. After graduation, Mitch was successful in securing a role on the Graduate Program and has since been promoted to Mining Engineer at QCoal Northern Hub.

 

“My advice to anyone interested in joining the mining industry is to apply for vacation work with Thiess – this will give you an opportunity to experience mining first-hand and often leads to grad opportunities”

 

Sophia Alfonso – Lake Vermont

 

Sophia speaks fondly of her time as a Vac Student and the importance of that work in setting her up for her career. “I can’t recommend Vacation work more highly – both times I was given great opportunities to apply my learning and contribute to real work that would deliver for the business. Those experiences helped me grow as a young professional and gave me a great introduction to reliability support, planning and preventative maintenance. As a young professional, I am very grateful for the opportunities to learn from my colleagues who are always willing to help.”

 

“For anyone considering the mining industry – I would say go for it. You can build a great diverse career and go after new experiences that interest you,” Sophia concluded.
