Host: My name is Patrick Roberts, I'm 27 years old from Bridgend in south Wales. I am an Engineering Geologist working in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. I did a A-Levels in Geography, Biology and P.E and an As Level in Geology. I studied Physical Geography and Geology at the University of Plymouth, graduating in 2014. I've been working as an Engineering Geologist ever since.Have you ever wondered what it's like to work in a different country? In this class, Patrick will talk through a day in the life of an Engineering Geologist and the journey that took him from Bridgend to the outback. Patrick will also discuss skills he utilises every day in the job as well as cover some of the highs and lows.
