Ask anyone in public works how they ended up in the profession and more often than not the answer is “I kind of fell into it”.
To rectify this problem, IPWEA has launched its new Careers Blog with all the information young engineers need to find out about the profession.

IPWEA's Careers Blog is supported by the Australian Centre of Excellence for Local Government.
Whether you are new to the industry or a seasoned professional, here's who we think should check out the blog:
