Have you thought about joining a European-based company ❓ "In Europe, the companies also focus on the personal aspects of the job, and that the person doing the job is in a good spot from all aspect of their compensation." That is one of the reasons why Katryna chose Poclain when she was looking for a job in mechanical engineering 🔧. Read more about her portrait here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eZrXw6pf

What should I focus on as a young Engineer? During todays Engineers Australia Young Engineer Mentor session, I shared my five key principles: 1 - Increase your T: Develop deep expertise in your field (the vertical leg of the T) while maintaining broad skills (the top of the T). This concept that I first saw in the Valve corporation Handbook states that "people who are both generalists (highly skilled at a broad set of valuable things—the top of the T) and also experts (among the best in their field within a narrow discipline—the vertical leg of the T)." 2 - Company Benefits: Look beyond remuneration. Seek out training, team experience, and travel opportunities that your company offers. 3 - Travel: Gain international experience to broaden your cultural understanding and enhance your engineering skills. 4 - Stretch Yourself: Embrace challenges that push you out of your comfort zone, like public speaking or new projects. 5 - Have a Plan: Set career goals with two-year plans in your 20s, five-year plans in your 30s, and ten-year plans in your 40s. I encourage engineers to support the EA mentoring program, as many young engineers are eager for guidance.

We’re thrilled to announce a major milestone at James Hardie! In Prattville, Alabama, our largest manufacturing plant is nearing the end of a multi-year expansion project that will double production capabilities and workforce, reaching an impressive 1 billion standard feet annually. This expansion is about more than just growth; it's about integrating cutting-edge technology to boost efficiency, quality, and sustainability. Plus, we're proud to support our local economy by sourcing 83% of our raw materials within 100 miles of the plant. This expansion not only enhances our manufacturing footprint but also reinforces our dedication to our purpose, Building a Better Future for All™. We're excited about the positive impact we're making both locally and globally. Together, we're truly delivering on our purpose! http://spr.ly/6040QfcD0
