ASC Graduates - in their own words

"What stood out to me about the Graduate Program was the ability to move around and do different things. ASC has the leading group of engineers in the submarine space – bar none. So it’s exciting to be working with a company in which it’s possible to develop to that level. If you are prepared to put your hand up and take an interest, there’s plenty to do, that’s for sure. I’m flat out at the moment."

Graduate engineer | Osborne, SA
"ASC has a wide range of opportunities for engineers. As part of my BE in mechatronics from the University of Adelaide I completed a 12-week undergraduate internship at ASC and saw the number of different aspects of the submarine work here. Within six months I was a subsystem technical lead on the sonar upgrade, working with ASC personnel and people from our major suppliers – it was a great experience."
