In this episode, Grant McHerron and Kirra Davey talk with Sophee Clark, Babcock International Group's Australian Production Manager for Marine projects, about her experiences as a 30 Under 30 Award winner and working at Babcock.

We begin our conversation by getting an overview of the ADM 30 Under 30 award program, the challenges of recruitment for defence, and the available careers from Babcock. We also get an insight into Sophee’s experience in the industry, her advice for starting a career in Defence, and the achievements she has made since winning the ADM 30 Under 30 award. 

We wrap up by discussing the importance of these awards, and review the nomination process.
