Eagle Technology Graduate Stories

My favourite thing about GIS is the problem-solving aspect of the job. I enjoy unravelling spatial puzzles, analysing data to uncover insights, and the satisfaction you finding the solution to solve the problem. 

Through the grad programme, you get exposure to a bunch of different products and get the chance to work on a project with a mentor, so before having “real” responsibilities, you go through six weeks of learning and applying skills.

Be pragmatic, but don’t be too afraid to change paths and follow things you enjoy!

Just like with any job, you're not going to be an expert overnight; nor can you be an expert in everything, so when a problem comes up which I'm not qualified to solve, this can be discouraging and sometimes leaves me feeling like I might be letting our customers down. However, I do have an awesome team to lean on and learn from.

University lecturers and tutors are there because they enjoy teaching. If you are asking questions this means that you are engaged and wanting to learn. They will be more than happy to help you.
