Job Satisfaction at BAE Systems Australia

Graduate project officer, consists of reporting, template preparation and assisting team members in tasks.

Engineering change officer, handling contractors and customers to deliver engineering changes.

I am a graduate electronics engineer so my day-to-day responsibilities are not too involved. It mostly involves filling out documentation or doing research corresponding to the current assigned task. This could involve getting into contact with suppliers to find out more about a piece of equipment relating to the task. Most of the time it is spent filling in required documentation and reports. Due to being involved remotely with a project interstate I am not able to do any of the more practically related tasks such as physically checking cable routes or locations.

Company has been very poor at providing me with work - I often have nothing to do during the day

Working on engineering paperwork Some engineering drawings

I work on a changing list of issues that range from fixing documentation to coming up with engineering solutions for project enhancement.

My role has managed to push me to thrive and develop on my interpersonal skills in a very effective manner. Working at BAE, I feel like I am learning something new every week. My colleagues have established a decent amount of trust within me based on my responsibilities.

Writing engineering documents, electrical engineering, attending meetings, researching design options, managing data.

Writing/testing/reviewing software, trying to figure out/prototype solutions to difficult problems

Graduate mechanical engineer and am usually doing report writing on various projects

The Commercial role is quite satisfying - but full satisfaction comes from being able to complete a role in its entirety. Unfortunately I have been very stuck within one area of work, due to customer dissatisfaction, but I am looking forward to my last few months to reach out into the finer Commercial details and elements. Day to day responsibility often includes customer calls, current Contract Change Proposal work, and communication to shareholder for information to complete said CCP's.

Work can be a bit mundane at times with long report writing but that is just part of being an engineer.
