C.R. Kennedy has announced that Phoebe Davis is the latest recipient of the Leica Geosystems and C.R. Kennedy Internship.

After a competitive selection process, Phoebe was chosen for the opportunity to gain hands-on experience at Leica Geosystems’ head office in Heerbrugg, Switzerland.

She follows in the footsteps of last year’s successful intern, Lucy Illek.

Davis has now arrived in Heerbrugg and has officially started her six-month internship within the GNSS team, the same team with which Illek worked.

During the internship, Davis will work within the product development team, undertaking a range of tasks related to surveying technology, such as testing of hardware and software, workflow documentation and data analysis.

The program, supported by Leica Geosystems and C.R. Kennedy, provides emerging Australian talent with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain real-world industry experience.

The annual program is open to any current second- or third-year geospatial or surveying student undertaking an Australian university or TAFE course. Applicants must be an Australian, New Zealand or EU citizen currently living in Australia, and must be committed to a career in the surveying and geospatial field and open to learning and enthusiastically participating in the Leica Geosystems organisation.

The successful applicant has their travel to and from Heerbrugg covered, as well as any work visa expenses, as well as a salary commensurate with covering all reasonable living expenses.
