The Groundwork

Rising Stars: Meet our newest undergrads

Meet five of our 2025 undergrads

The ATCW vacation program undergrad intake began in December 2024. We’ve had five undergrads begin in Melbourne and Brisbane with one more to join the Sunshine Coast Team in March.

After the application and interview process, these budding engineers were selected due to their enthusiasm for working with the environment and aptitude for geotechnical work and water management.

We look forward to following the progress of our 2025 undergrads as they learn new skills. Upon completion, they will have an opportunity to continue to work alongside our teams in our Graduate pathway program.
