Michael started as a graduate in 2006 after studying a double degree in Mechanical Engineering and Arts at the University of Melbourne. Michael is working in the Distribution Engineering group as a Project Engineer, and is currently based at the Yarraville Terminal.

Michael is currently working on projects in Melbourne, Adelaide and New Zealand.

“As a Project Engineer within the Distribution group, I am responsible for implementing projects at sites in Australia and New Zealand. My role is to interface between ExxonMobil and external consultants and contractors to design and execute projects. Working within this group has exposed me to a variety of work and I have worked on mechanical, civil, and electrical projects.”

“Working on site is fantastic, and working closely with the Operations team has given me a valuable insight into day to day operations in the oil and gas industry.”

“I never imagined stepping from University into a Project Engineering role where I am responsible for the flawless delivery of million dollar projects.  The work is interesting, the people are great, and support through technical training and personal development programs is always available.”
