Daniel Howes Graduated in 2003 with Honours in Mechanical Engineering. He started work with GHD in the Building Services of their Hobart office. Two years later saw him seconded to their Brisbane office where he worked in the Mining and Industry Group. He found this very challenging and six months later was seconded to Mt Isa to work on a major shut down of the copper smelter that takes place every four years. He described this experience as brilliant.
He then thought it was time to get out and see more of the world. He spent three months traveling around Europe after which he applied for a position with an English company Kingshaw Associates who are Building Services Consultants and like to work on green and renewable projects.
After twelve months he is still working with this same company and is now applying for a Visa to stay on and work for at least another 12 months.
