Being able to work with both the Civil and Structural engineering teams provided me with a wide array of experience which has proved invaluable to my professional development. Everyone, from my direct supervisors to senior members of the team, were approachable and willing to spend time explaining anything from intricate aspects of a project to general engineering concepts.

After winning the Scholarship in 2019, I joined the team over the summer vacation period for work experience. This has been an interesting and rewarding experience as I have been involved with real design projects alongside some of the senior members of the team who provided me with unlimited support and guidance. I am in the final stages of studying a Master of Professional Engineering (Civil Engineering) degree at UWA and am very excited to be joining Pritchard Francis after graduation. My goals for the future are to further enhance my technical skills, and one day I would love to work with regional communities who are in need of various infrastructure improvements to increase their quality of life. I have been volunteering with the UWA Chapter of Engineers Without Borders since 2018, travelling to rural communities, providing tutoring and mentoring with Teach Learn Grow. Brianna Newnham |

I joined Pritchard Francis as a full time Structural Engineer after having won the 2019 Scholarship and completing work experience in the summer of 2018. I quickly gained experience working on a large variety of projects, from office based design to supervising construction on site. The ability to practically apply my skills early on in my employment as well as the continuing and solid support from the team has been influential to my growth so far. The Pritchard Francis Scholarship has given me a solid foundation to build my future as a professional Engineer, for which I am very grateful.

Entering into full time employment at the completion of my university studies, I quickly gained experience working on a large variety of projects, from office based design to supervising construction on site. Pritchard Francis provides me with training opportunities, both internal and external and even interstate. Now eight years on, I’ve had the opportunity to work in our Perth office, our Broome office, travel across the north of Western Australia for project work, and now I’m based in Darwin, as the lead structural engineer. Pritchard Francis continue to look after my interests, both personal and professional, and have allowed me to grow within the business, for which I am very grateful. Troy Oliver - Project Leader - Structural |
After completing vacation work, I started full time employment in 2006 and was supported to take my career in a number of different directions. After 4 years of technical experience in civil engineering, I was given a secondment opportunity to a leading construction firm in Perth to develop my understanding of construction and project management. The combination of design and construction experience has assisted me in becoming a more competent engineer and given me the opportunity to further develop relationships within the industry. Pritchard Francis also encouraged and supported me in studies at UWA to complete a Masters of Business Administration which has helped me grow into my current position of Principal Engineer. Mark Riddell - Principal - Civil |
After winning the Scholarship in 2003, I joined Pritchard Francis as a full time Structural Engineer in early 2005 and couldn’t be happier with how my career has progressed since then. I have had the opportunity to further my interest in sustainability, have worked in Melbourne on secondment and travelled to Stockholm representing Pritchard Francis to present a paper on the Condor Tower project. I have valued and grown from the experiences available through Pritchard Francis and believe that they have played a large role in my career progression to a Principal of Pritchard Francis.
