5. “The attitude that people go to university, get a job and they’ve
got the skills to last them for the rest of their career must change.
Given how fast technology is evolving and changing the way we
work, it’s now about life-long learning. You have to keep
learning, adapting to change and reinventing yourself.
LIFE-LONG LEARNING
Sharmila Jugessur, Operational Optimization Director at Advisian

6. “The first step is to embrace that there is change. The next step would be to
learn more about new technologies and see what will be relevant to you and
your career. While we can’t be sure what the next five to 10 years will look like,

ENCOURAGE CREATIVE THINKING
Nuria Ruiperez, Global Innovation Manager at Worley

9. “More and more, engineers will need a grasp of the digital environment and how to
align this with a digitally-enabled operation. They’ll need to be able to determine how

be a very exciting time to be an engineer.
