JOEST Australia – Graduate Engineers 2018
Kevin Singh & Kyle Pedeferri

JOEST Australia has provided the opportunity for 2 young Curtin Engineering students to complete their practical training, learning about the design, manufacture of vibrating equipment used in industrial and mining applications.
Whilst Kevin and Kyle worked together on projects during their Curtin studies, neither knew they would meet at JOEST to complete their vocational work experience.
Kevin at the age of 23, is currently completing his final semester of a Mechanical Engineering Degree at Curtin University of Technology in Perth. Kevin has a huge interest in anything from the automotive, motorsports, computers, and the renewable energy industry.
Kevin’s goal at JOEST is to obtain invaluable experience as a young Mechanical Engineer. JOEST’s many years of practical client focused solutions and quality products and systems provide an excellent learning environment. Kevin said “My ambition is to one day be a part of the renewable energy industry as it is currently a booming commodity and would one day hopefully, be a key player of the solution to the energy crisis issue the world is currently facing.”
Kyle 22 years of age, born and raised in Perth, Western Australia, and prevalence of mining operations has encouraged him to pursue a career in the mining industry
With keen interest in science and mathematics, particularly physics and chemistry, for which Kyle excelled, he graduated from high school and was awarded a scholarship of Academic Excellence to Curtin University of Technology.
Kyle is studying for a double degree in the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Commerce Major in Mechanical Engineering and Business Management.
Having begun vocational work experience at JOEST, Kyle has spent time drafting vibrating screens, testing clamping forces for various nut and bolt arrangements, and been involved in basic fabrication assemblies. Kyle’s passion lies with materials engineering which is applicable to the design of mechanical vibration equipment.
Adding the study of commerce – particularly business management and economics – has provided Kyle with a complimentary understanding of “whom”, “when”, “where” and “why” a firm does business, as opposed the “what” and “how” that is so firmly entrenched within the engineering curriculum
Once graduated as a fully qualified engineer, Kyle plans to travel around Europe prior to embarking on a full time engineering career.
Kyle maintains an active lifestyle with social games of basketball and indoor cricket. Kyle says “I consider myself an AFL (Australian Football League) tragic which provides a release from my university commitments.
JOEST welcomes Kevin & Kyle, and looks forward to assisting them in completing their studies.
Kevin Singh
My name is Kevin and I am currently working with Joest Vibration Technologies as a Mechanical Engineering intern. At the age of 23, I am currently completing my final semester of my Mechanical Engineering degree at Curtin University of Technology in Perth. I have a huge interest in anything from the automotive, motorsports, computers, and the renewable energy industry. Throughout my internship at Joest, I have been learning a lot lately regarding, the assembly, operation and testing of exciter motors. My goal at Joest is to obtain invaluable experience as a young Mechanical engineer since Joest has been in the industry for long period of time. My ambition is to one day be apart of the renewable energy industry as it is currently a booming commodity and would one day hopefully, be a key player of the solution to the energy crisis issue the world is currently facing.
Kyle Pedeferri – 22 years of age
Having being born and raised in Perth, Western Australia, the prevalence of mining operations had urged my somewhat younger self to pursue a career in the mining industry. Throughout my attendance at Winthrop Baptist College, I realised an interest in science and mathematics, particularly physics and chemistry, for which I excelled. I graduated from high school in 2012 and was awarded a scholarship of academic excellence to Curtin University of Technology – a leading research and technology based institution in Western Australia.
I currently study a double degree in the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Commerce for which I major in Mechanical Engineering and Business Management. A prerequisite for graduation of any undergraduate engineer at Curtin University requires that a total of 480 hours vocational work experience in an engineering environment be completed. I am privileged to have begun my vocational work experience at Joest in Welshpool for which I have spent time drafting vibrating screens, testing clamping forces for various nut and bolt arrangements, and been involved in basic fabrication assemblies. My passion lies with materials engineering for which my knowledge is applicable to the design of mechanical vibration equipment. Once I have graduated as a fully qualified engineer, I will travel around Europe before my career search begins in the New Year.
In addition to my primary focus as an engineer, my study of commerce – particularly business management and economics – has provided a complimentary understanding of “whom”, “when”, “where” and “why” a firm does business, as opposed to the “what” and “how” that is so firmly entrenched within the engineering curriculum. The brief study of philosophy and environmental considerations has provided yet another perspective that is equal parts interesting and challenging to incorporate into modern-day business structures.
To compliment my 5 years of study, I have retained a somewhat active lifestyle with weekly social games of basketball and indoor cricket – 2 of Australia’s most iconic sports. I consider myself an AFL (Australian Football League) tragic which provides a release from my university commitments.
Through continual support from my parents, I have been provided a unique opportunity to pursue such a career and look forward to potentially working abroad as a mechanical engineer.
