Redrawn is introducing new, diverse cadets to the engineering sector. We are training the workforce of the future.
There is only 16% female participation in the engineering sector. Even less participation for indigenous Australians, people with disability, and refugees. Redrawn is actioning real change! We are not only talking about inclusion. We are hiring and upskilling people to improve their lives and our industry for the better. Redrawn is business for good.
Striving To Create A Workforce That Reflects The Community
Redrawn is demonstrating that inclusion is possible in the engineering sector.

Impact Stories
Kim Tang - Design Drafter
Kim is hearing-impaired and his language is Auslan. Kim has taught the team Auslan while he learnt to design and draft at Redrawn. Kim studied IT at TAFE before joining Redrawn on day 1 of opening in July 2022.
Kim was new to engineering and design for the heavy industrial sector. By working at Redrawn he has had exposure to many different projects and drafting platforms. Kim is an excellent problem solver who is calm and collected. He has a great deal of initiative and is engaged in his work.
Redrawn provided Kim an opportunity to apply his skills in STEM, now he is proficient in AutoCAD, MicroStation, Smart Plant, Plant 3D and Inventor. Kim chose to demonstrate what the engineering sector can achieve when people take the time to teach others.
Viktoriia Petrenko - Draftsperson
Viktoriia is a CAD drafter with a work history in project management as part of the Ukrainian steel industry. She has skills in AutoCAD 2D and Plant 3D Autodesk packages.
Her project exposure has provided her with experience in civil, process, and mechanical drafting. Viktoriia is proficient in 2D drafting, specifically electrical drawings and P&IDs.
Since arriving in Adelaide in April, Viktoriia has been studying English intensively with a good language proficiency. She is now seeking to support clients with drafting services and put her project management skills to good use.
Martha Hackshaw - Regional Manager (WA)
Martha has a degree in Chemical and Process Engineering and has worked as a Petroleum Engineer for the past 12 years.
Social justice is fundamental to Martha, and she was planning on leaving the engineering industry due to its lack of genuine commitment to diversity and inclusion. Martha is heartened by Redrawn’s purpose and mission and is committed to changing the face of engineering.
Martha also suffers from chronic illness and isn’t able to work fulltime. She sees that a lot of talented individuals are lost from the workforce due to a lack of true flexibility in many workplaces. Redrawn is committed to tailoring work around an individual’s needs, meaning that people like Martha can continue to contribute their knowledge and skills.
Martha’s goal is to expand our Perth team to provide a premium engineering, design and drafting service for WA companies who are as passionate about supporting diversity and inclusion as we are.
