Intern with the Department of Fire and Emergency Services
Mechanical Engineering student
I worked with data from repairs on the DFES fleet to find patterns in component failures and determine the best period for replacements. I gained a real understanding of workplace dynamics, learning to navigate a professional environment and communicating effectively with colleagues. I’d definitely recommend a McCusker Centre internship to other students, it’s a great chance to gain real-world experience while working on a meaningful project with a positive impact on the community.
