Cadie’s interest in engineering was first sparked in Year Nine when she took a metalwork class. She immediately enjoyed working with metal, especially welding, and enjoyed the satisfaction of completing a project. Now in a school-based apprenticeship working at BHP Rail, she loves the hands-on experience in MIG and stick welding, grinding, and maintaining safe workspaces. Cadie says the experience has given her confidence and helped her to develop team work and leadership skills. She enjoys the variety of tasks and the opportunity to build strong relationships with her team. Passionate about engineering, Cadie is motivated to continue learning and developing a rewarding career in the industry.
