Are data centres good for your career? Engineers compare client-side and consulting pathways in the fast-growing DC sector.
About this Event

Client Side vs Consulting – which path is right for you?


CIBSE YEN NSW is hosting a breakfast panel discussion exploring two common (and often debated) engineering career pathways: consulting vs client-side.

Hear from engineers on both sides of the industry, as well as a specialist recruiter with a front-row seat to career transitions.

Speakers:

  • Steve Slater – Seber Recruitment (Host)
  • Sarah McLaughlin – Northrop Consulting Engineers
  • Connor Rockwell – GreenSquareDC

We’ll cover:

  • Benefits and trade-offs of each pathway
  • How career progression differs
  • A deep dive into data centres and why they’re shaping the future of building services


Perfect for graduates, early and mid-career engineers looking to better understand their options.
