Jake Robins

A Graduate Surveyor working for a multi-national mining company operating in Queensland’s Bowen Basin.

“The most enjoyable part of my career is seeing projects take shape in front of my eyes, being involved in every aspect from pre-design survey, aiding in the design and planning, setting out designs and finally the as-built survey. The work I conduct requires me to be detailed and accurate and there is an immense satisfaction in knowing that you have completed a job to a high standard.”

Sarah Iacono
