Starting a career in public works and engineering can feel both exciting and uncertain. Many graduates enter the workforce with strong technical knowledge but limited understanding of how careers actually develop in practice. This webinar is designed for graduate engineers, young professionals and emerging practitioners working across public works and infrastructure, particularly within local government environments in Australia and New Zealand.

Hosted by the Head of Education at IPWEA, the session combines practical career advice with honest reflections from two recent graduates currently working in the public works sector. Through an informal interview-style discussion, attendees will gain insights into career development, workplace learning, networking and professional growth during the early stages of their careers.

The webinar is intended to be practical, relatable and encouraging, helping attendees build confidence and identify simple actions that can support their own career journey.
