For me to do my job well, I need input from people in a vast array of professions, such as engineers, project managers and salespeople. I never knew that it would be possible to learn so much in such a short period of time.
You can set your own pace being a graduate at Rheinmetall. RDA is happy for you to just learn and take things in and partner with more senior engineers if that is what you want to do.
I was born in Sri-Lanka and migrated to Rockhampton in Central Queensland in 2006. As far back as I could remember, I was fascinated by aircrafts, which no doubt led me in the path of engineering.
The Finance team at Rheinmetall consists of 3 subdivisions; Controlling, Projects and Accounting. As a graduate you will get to experience the 3 different areas over the program.
I’m part of an engineering design team working on armoured military vehicles. I have to work with various stakeholders in the project, including electronics engineers, senior mechanical engineers within the design team, as well as the manufacturer.
I like my job because I have a lot of agency in regards to how I perform a task, and there is a diverse mixture of different skills, allowing a lot of room to learn and grow as a developer.
