After graduating with a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from HITEC in June 2017, I moved to Australia in February 2018. Initially employed as a construction laborer in a residential tower project in Sydney, I transitioned to an engineering role within the same company when they recognized my capabilities extended beyond mere laboring tasks.

During my initial year, I made valuable connections which led me to freelance engineering work and subcontracting for my former employer. This enabled me to make more valuable contacts. Collaborating with a former manager, Jim, we established Torinex Consulting Engineers in 2019, with Jim as the owner-director and myself as a shareholder Associate. The company has thrived since then, securing construction design projects across Sydney. Personally, not only I have learned the consulting side of the business, but I am also among the few engineers in New South Wales, holding multiple registrations with the state regulatory body, certifying authority in five different design fields namely Drainage, Fire Hydrants, Sprinklers, Smoke Control, and Mechanical Engineering. My versatile experience enables me to run my business as a one-stop shop for all the Mechanical, Plumbing, Fire, Stormwater, and Civil design services.

In late 2022, I set up an office in Fateh Jang, Pakistan which serves as an extension to my Australian business. Currently, I have employed three other Hitonians from the Mechanical and Civil departments at above-market remuneration and have been providing them with training and learning opportunities.

While I acknowledge progress, I consider success an ongoing journey and there is a long way to. I have been inspiring fellow Hitonians since 2018 when the unemployment rate was very high in Australia. My message to all young engineers at HITEC is that you will never become successful without a Plan and from my personal experience, I can tell that it won’t happen by accident or via luck. Gone are the days of conventional employment. Job hunting is beyond borders now and your end goal should be to run a business. Consider every new day an opportunity to try even harder and every setback an opportunity to perform even better.

Yours faithfully,

I am a proud Mechanical engineering graduate of Batch 2k16 from HITEC University Taxila. From day one I was always interested in mechanisms, fabricating creative articles and Products. My time at HITEC was filled with enthusiastic projects, participation in different competitions such as Bridge design, glider design and most famous of all the ROBOWARS organized by HIROBOTECH.

I am profoundly grateful to my university for providing me with a solid foundation in mechanical engineering and design principles. The rigorous curriculum, dedicated faculty, and state-of-the-art facilities have equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to embark on my career journey as a mechanical design engineer specializing in automation. As I step into the professional world, I carry with me the values instilled by my alma mater and am confident in my ability to make meaningful contributions to the field. Thank you to my university for shaping me into the engineer I am today and preparing me for the exciting challenges that lie ahead.

I started my journey as a Mechanical Design engineer and as always, I am a great admirer of Automation. This led me to design and prototype the Core Stacking Machine for Power transformers at creative group of companies. I thank HITEC UNIVERSITY for infusing in me the interest in Automation from early days and giving me platform to experiment and improve my projects.

Thankyou.

I am Engineer Muhammad Umar Co-Founder at Orbon Technologies from Wah Cantt. I attended HITEC University Taxila, where I pursued a degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Power. I graduated in 2020 and embarked on my professional journey thereafter.

After graduation, I began my career in an entry-level position and eventually became a design engineer at an embedded firm. In 2022, I co-founded Orbon Technology. At Orbon, I dedicated myself fully, tirelessly working on multiple projects and products. Our significant accomplishment was creating a smart helmet

I am grateful to my supervisor, Dr. Kashif Imdad, for inspiring me to contribute to the country's growth in the technology sector. My time at HITEC University, particularly the advanced labs in the Electrical Department and the dedication of my teachers, significantly strengthened my technical skills.

To my fellow university students, I would like to share my advice based on personal experience: don't limit yourselves to job hunting. Instead, embrace entrepreneurship. Collaborate with your peers, turn innovative ideas into reality, and create your own opportunities. Persistence and dedication are the keys to unlocking success in the entrepreneurial world.

Thank You
