Guests Martyn Robotham and Negin Beaton share their engineering journeys and dig deep into their rewarding careers in the resources industry.

Martyn started out in the mining industry 35 years ago, when gender diversity in the sector was non-existent. He has seen significant changes in his time and is a true champion of change as an active member of the UQ Women in Engineering Advisory Board.

Negin was motivated to follow in her father's footsteps when she chose mining engineering. She's able to apply her aptitude for problem solving to an industry that is integral to our every day lives, and is excited by the positive impact she can have on the sector's social, economic and environmental footprint.

Together they share insights into a day in the life of an operational mine, the challenges they have overcome in their careers, and the value of support networks and mentors in this global, yet small, industry.

With technological advances and scope for further innovation to create even safer and more efficient operations, the future of mining is exciting for prospective engineers looking to consider a career in the resources sector.
