It all began in 2008 when Inga started her journey as a Geomatics Consultant with our consulting arm, Entura. Over the years her role expanded, as did her passion for spatial information science! This exciting field brings together cutting-edge technology like 3D mapping, GPS, drones, and satellite imagery (that does sound fun!).
"Hydro Tasmania has such a diverse portfolio of assets including infrastructure, water, land, and the environment and that really kept me hooked alongside my career passions in geospatial information,” said Inga.
After working with Entura for nine years, Inga moved into our IT team in various roles before eventually stepping into the role of Manager IT Commercial and Planning. Becoming a leader wasn’t always the plan for Inga, however, the evolving and supportive culture at Hydro Tasmania had a profound influence on her career aspirations.
Today, Inga manages two teams and despite the challenges that leadership can bring, she has had a positive support system along the way. "I put my hand up for every training and development opportunity that comes my way, including external scholarships. The support from Hydro Tasmania has been fantastic.”
Being a mentor is something that Inga finds especially fulfilling.
Earlier this year, Inga had the opportunity to act in another role, allowing her to explore new challenges and develop new skills. "I recently acted in the role of Head of IT whilst my manager was on leave which was a great experience. It’s an awesome way to get a feel for a different position. You meet new people, form new relationships, and gain confidence. The perspective you get from stepping into someone else’s shoes is incredibly valuable.”
Having two children herself, Inga understands first-hand the challenges that come with balancing work and family life. "When I had my kids, my partner couldn’t access much parental leave. It added a lot of pressure on me. It’s really heartening to see so many dads in Hydro Tasmania taking parental leave now. It’s a huge deal to have that equal split of responsibilities, and it really helps ease the load of the unpaid work. Now both my partner and I work flexibly when needed, and it has been a game changer."

It’s hard to believe that in 2019, some professions are still regarded as ‘male’ or ‘female’ careers. We at Hydro Tasmania believe in diversity in the workplace and are working actively to increase opportunities for women to enter and remain in traditionally male-dominated professions like engineering.
