 MEC Mining meet future Mining Engineers at UQ

We had the pleasure of meeting many enthusiastic students at UQ’s Engineering Careers Fair last Friday.

MEC’s Head of Talent Management Cheryl Holton attended the event along with Graduate Mining Engineers Hung To and Fabian Graes as well as Undergraduate Mining Engineers Yuri Gervasiev, Bryant Li and Ajay Datt.

It’s always fantastic to meet up-and-coming engineers, said Cheryl, and I am so proud to be part of the young professionals who joined me on the day. They did an amazing job representing MEC’s values, vision, and expertise.”

It was a valuable exchange for us as mining professionals and for them as aspiring professionals. Not only were we able to hear about their thoughts and career ambitions, but we were also able to answer their questions about the industry and show them the sorts of opportunities available to them if they work for a company like ours.
