When advertising our 2021 Traineeship for Certificate III in Business, we advertised that we were looking for some sunshine to join our team with our next Trainee and we were thrilled when we found Maddy to join our HR/Admin team.

Maddy came to us with a good work ethic and with a few years out of school some life experience, and we loved her community spirit, we knew she would be a great culture fit to our existing HR team.

Here’s Maddy’s Traineeship story with Bowhill Engineering:

I started my 18-month Traineeship in Certificate lll in Business at Bowhill Engineering in October 2021. At the time I was working casual hours at the Mannum Community Club and had previously worked in Aged Care. I applied for this role as I was looking to gain more skills and find a long-term career pathway and felt, that I would gain the skills I was looking for in a traineeship. One of the attractions and benefits with a traineeship was being able to study whilst still earning an income.

I believe that this traineeship has allowed me to grow and gain confidence in myself. I am most proud of the administration skills that I have gained whilst working here at Bowhill Engineering.

During my time at Bowhill Engineering, I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to not only assist but gain role appreciation of other job roles in the company.  Through this, I have found an interest in assisting our Accounts Coordinator with monthly invoicing and Accounts support.

My job role has moved from basic reception to general assistance to the greater Bowhill Engineering team including Accounts, Projects, HR & Operations. I enjoy being able to assist anyone where needed and enjoy working with the whole team as part of my role.

I currently manage the company calender, group tour bookings, work experience, our wellbeing calender, daily timesheet recording, the front reception area & more.

In 2023, I am looking forward to moving into my new role as Administration Assistant and growing my skills even further.

Traineeship are reviewed annually at Bowhill Engineering.
