Contact Energy

In terms of technical skills, I'd say I am more comfortable using Excel and SAP systems, as well as using AI to help my analysis and streamline a lot of the processes. I've also gotten to know a lot more people and has learned how to handle communication with them.

I have received one main formal training sessions (Sentis training course) and inductions as well as a couple of workshops. I have learnt a lot about reservoir engineering through videos on Contact Uni (online learning space for work), but haven't had any formal training sessions for this. It has been more learn on the go and through my projects which has been manageable.

My first 2 months were focused on training. I attended training workshops, including a 3-day course. I got lots of manuals and training exercises to do. I got excellent supervision and help which made it really easy to ask questions and learn quicker. Training and development is emphasised as there are lots of upcoming training opportunities. We are also encouraged to enroll in courses that we find ourselves and are interested in.

I've been given the opportunity to do heaps in my few months here so far. I've picked up writing skills, communication skills, computer skills, and more. I receive performance feedback often which helps me get a sense of where I'm at.
