Testimonials
Unique opportunities in the engineering industry
Mason Wilson, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)'I was very fortunate to be selected as the recipient for the BMD Civil Engineering Scholarship in my 3rd year of engineering studies. This scholarship provided me so many opportunities to get involved in the industry and learn so much about working as an engineer. I was fortunate enough to work out on the airport delivering a unique project with a great group of people. Another highlight of my time with BMD was presenting at the Iona College Careers Fair, where BMD gave me the opportunity to inspire the next generation of engineers by reflecting on my journey through university and the workforce. This scholarship really helped me break into the engineering industry and has set me up for a prosperous career in engineering.'
