Brown Consulting, a 250-person national infrastructure services firm with offices in Brisbane, Canberra, Geelong, Melbourne, Sunshine Coast, Sydney and Singapore, would like to see more women in urban development roles.
Managing Director of Brown Consulting, Gary Spence is leading this change.
“Dream Big is open to young women in Year 12 who want to consider a career in civil or structural engineering, town planning or surveying.”
“If you are studying the right subjects and think one of these professions could be a possible career, we welcome your application,” said Mr Spence.
Based on the success of the trial program in Brisbane, Brown Consulting is now launching the program nationally.
“Our aim is to sponsor at least five girls – one in each of our offices – every year. If there is more than one standout applicant in each city, then we will consider extending the sponsorship to more women,’ said Mr Spence.

“If you are in Grade 12, and interested in engineering, town planning or surveying – I’d encourage you to apply,” said Mr Spence.
