Matthew talks about his experience as a Mechanical Engineer in South Australia’s defence industry
Matthew didn’t know what sector he wanted to work in while he was at university, but after completing a twelve-month scholarship at the Defence, Science & Technology Group he fell in love with the defence industry. He soon realised that he wouldn’t need to join the Defence Force to work in defence. Matthew’s role sees him working on all sorts of different projects with a supportive and multidisciplinary team. Matthew is looking forward to seizing the many opportunities that the defence industry offers to young engineers.
Matthew is a Mechanical Engineer with APC Technology.
