New Year, New Goals and New Guests. And what better than our first episode for the year being with one of Broad Spectrums most talented recruits, Drew Lehman.

Broad Spectrum, if you aren't already aware design, fund, construct, operate, and maintain major projects and infrastructure assets across diverse industries all over Australia. Meaning they are experts in delivering projects in fields such as Airports, Rail and Metro, Public Transport, Roads, Telecommunication, Water, Power, Defence, Local Government, Maritime, Social Housing, Universities, Schools and Campuses, Justice, Property, Health, Oil and Gas, Mining and Industrial. With a company as diverse as this you would have to be mad not to have a glance over their job board and see what opportunities they might have for you.

We have mentioned it before but something we are both quite passionate and want to use this podcast for is to enable people to be able to find their dream careers within the Engineering industry. And frankly in an episode like this it's great to hear about the endless opportunities that exist at Broad Spectrum as we certainly feel that most people looking at a company like this could easily identify a dream job quite quickly.

Drew has had a variety of experiences within the company as she now comes to the completion of her graduate program. She talks about her work on defence contracts and as well as DIDO (Drive in Drive Out) positions, and that's just naming a few, throughout the episode. Now she bases herself in a head office in Sydney, but expresses her motivation to get back out in the field, where she feels "real experience" is gained.

We are both extremely excited to be back and getting this show back on the road! So we are hoping that his episode will be the start of lots more interesting and plenty more value add stories for the year to come.

As an added initiative we have decided that we want to start advertising vacant positions at the companies we talk to, to promote these opportunities to our listeners. Please see them below.

With Ryan in Melbourne, Drew in Sydney and I in Brisbane we all caught up for a quick chat on the phone to learn how Drew has broken into typically male-dominated workplaces like rural mine sites and defence bases with such grace and humility not commonly seen in young professionals. Drew being a long time friend and definitely someone who helped me pass one too many uni exams, wasn't someone we just had to interview. I insisted as I knew that her incredible humility and good nature was definitely something the Engineering world hadn't seen yet and I really wanted to know how it was all playing out as she comes to the end of her graduate program at broad spectrum and begins to look for more challenging roles within the organisation.
