Isabella works on automating longwall mining systems – a role that blends hands-on underground work with office-based coding. Her job is all about improving safety for miners and boosting the efficiency of underground operations, using mechatronics engineering to solve real-world challenges. No two days are the same, and collaboration is a big part of what she loves.
By helping automate mining processes, Isabella’s work contributes to safer and more sustainable mining. Improved efficiency means fewer emissions and better use of resources, while automation reduces risks for people working underground.
Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics)
Isabella studied mechatronics engineering, blending mechanical, electrical, and software engineering – a perfect foundation for working in automation and smart mining systems. Similar careers can begin with degrees in mechatronics, robotics, electrical or mechanical engineering, and may include specialisations in systems design, programming, or industrial automation.
