 My name is Emma Brown. I'm a process engineer at New Zealand Steel. In the steel mill my main job is monitoring quality, troubleshooting problems that we have while everything's still running and basically just making sure that steel is moving from one process to the next. A typical day for me, we are a 24-7 operation so something that's quite important to my job is making sure that product that we're making is continuously moving and if it's held up for some reason, it's part of my job to figure out why. One of the biggest challenges about working with such large volumes of material is when something goes wrong, you don't have a lot of time to fix it and you're under quite a bit of pressure to make sure that you continue to make quality so it's about having the right skill set so your math and your physics do contribute to what you are doing in the workplace but also trusting the people that you work with to try new things or to bring solutions in that will get you a fix. To solve a problem I'll start first by looking in the plant what does the problem actually look like, what does it sound like, what does it smell like sometimes and then I'll head back to my office or to someone else's office and we can brainstorm and troubleshoot and figure out what's happening and the best and fastest way to fix something. What I get out of engineering that I don't think I can get from another career is I get to try a lot of new things here, I get to implement my own ideas after I consider about the amount of planning and research and it is really rewarding when you can see a result to what you've done whether that's a measurable result like we produced X amount of tonnes or we saved X amount of dollars, it's quite cool being able to put that down to work that you've helped or been the leader in.
