My name is Sue Shange, I’m working as the technical research analyst at the CarbonNet Project.

[What is your role at CarbonNet]

I'm responsible in conducting technical research to support the engineering team in delivering key design tasks and regulatory approvals. This includes writing reports and briefs to learn insights from other carbon capture and storage projects.

[What does a typical day look like?]

My day starts from reading emails and figuring out a to-do list for myself. I prefer to spend the mornings to read references and write technical reports and I like to spend my afternoons with collaborating with senior Engineers and reviewing engineering drawings.

[What did you study?]

After High School I pursued degrees in both petroleum engineering and Renewable

Energy Engineering, I joined the CarbonNet project through departments graduate program. After the program I got the chance to stay with the team.

[What advice would you have for those interested in a science-based career?]

Starting one scientific or engineering discipline doesn't necessarily confine your career to that specific area. Stem-based degree will help you build technical knowledge and also research skills that can be applied across different areas so don't be nervous and be passionate to learn and you will gain your confidence through your work.

Jose – Reservoir Engineer, The CarbonNet Project

Transcript

[Vision: The CarbonNet logo is displayed and is followed by a cartoon hand clicking a play button on a tablet. All footage occurs in the tablet throughout the video. Vision then displays Jose, Reservoir Engineer for CarbonNet.]

My name is Jose Daniel, and I am the reservoir engineer for CarbonNet.

[What is your role at CarbonNet]

[Vision: Jose viewing a model of a storage site on a computer screen.]

As a reservoir engineer, I'm in charge of characterising the reservoir storage site and creating a mathematical model to simulate different scenarios of the carbon dioxide in movement within the rock.

[What does a typical day look like?]

Well typical day starts with a morning coffee, and I go through different email messages that I received from last afternoon and the morning and meetings with stakeholders and within the team to assess goals and define tasks for the next months.

[What did you study?]

I studied a petroleum engineering as a bachelor's degree in Colombia. I did five years of training in Reservoir engineering and petroleum engineering with a service company and as my career progressed, I started looking forward to transitioning into the renewable energy industry and that's what I've been doing for the last 2 years.

[What advice would you have for those interested in a science-based career?]

I would advise that always be curious and be creative and imaginative.

[Vision: Over the shoulder camera shot of Jose looking at a computer.]

Try to couple that creativity with the logical and analytical mindset.

Do not be discouraged during your path, try to be resourceful and progress in your skills to achieve those goals in the STEM career path.
