As a draughtsperson in our Sydney office, Myra initially focused on 2D drafting until she completed training for Autodesk Inventor which is a 3D modelling software package for mechanical design. “Since then, my role has evolved to include different types of drawings for the mechanical, electrical and process engineering departments,” said Myra. Recently, Myra was part of a small team that secured the first contract under BHP’s Supplier Innovation Program and she’s also been involved in our patented Viper filtration technology. “I’m most proud of working on such new and innovative projects. Whilst these products are challenging to work on, it is also exciting to see the successful implementation of such new technology with a motivated team of colleagues.” Myra encourages other women to be confident in what you bring to the table. “I believe my greatest strength is my efficiency and versatility. With varied experiences across multiple departments, I bring resourcing flexibility to the company.”
