Young Professionals Exchange Programme (YPEP) 2010
-A bridge of friendship connecting Australia and JapanKeiichi KANAI
Chair, Professional Development Promotion Sub-Committee, AJCECTI Engineering Co., Ltd.

Young Professionals Exchange Programme (YPEP)
was established in 1996 according to theMemorandum of Understanding between AJCE
and ACEA (present Consult Australia) to promote
good relationship and friendship between
Japanese and Australian young consulting
engineers, in view of possible future collaboration
among participating firms. In the past 15 years,
more than 100 young engineers from Australia,
New Zealand and Japan attended thisprogramme, and it has been attracting attentionof other organizations like FIDIC, as a good
example of successful overseas training program.
In 2006, after a decade of active andmeaningful exchanges, we added an importantcomponent, "Pre-visit Dialogue", to theprogramme, which requires trainees tocommunicate with host firms' personnel forseveral months before the visit on various issues;
technical, cultural or personal.

The "Pre-visit Dialogue" helps the participants tounderstand each other well in advance and thus
enables the actual training to start much easier.
Last year, 6 Japanese young engineers from 5
consulting firms visited 5 Australian firms in 4 cities
for 3 weeks.
In the post-training meeting held by the 6
trainees to share their experiences with AJCE's
young professionals, they reported that they hadvery stimulating and fruitful 3weeks, full oftechnical exchange, discussion, site-visits,
seminars and entertainment after work, ofcourse. They also reported that they were really
impressed by the difference between two
countries on work environment, work habit andwork-life balance.
I hope that all 6 young professionals will continue
to develop their skills further, capitalizing on the
precious experience, and maintain the networkwith the Australian engineers, which will be theirvaluable asset in the future.
This year AJCE and its member firms will bewelcoming Australian young professionals in
October. I have no doubt that this year's
programme will be a big success again, and add
a new page to YPEP's long outstanding history.

2. Pre-visit Training
After the first meeting at AJCE, I sent an e-mail toBarry who was my mentor. I told that I am
interested in the differences in the ways ofbusiness operation between Australia andJapan. It was very difficult to write e-mails in
English as it was my first experience incommunicating English through e-mail. Despiteof this, I thought we could get to know eachother well through the pre-visit training.
3. Visit Training
At SV, I learned various practical matters, theAustralian standards in particular. I compared theenergy standards of Australia with that of Japan.
It was surprising to know that the internal heatloads such as man-made lighting load, etc. aremuch lower than those in Japan. It was also

YPEP2010 Report - My experience in Australia Sumihiro Sawabe
YPEP2010 Trainee
CHODAI CO.,LTD

1. Introduction
I had training at KBR as YPEP2010 trainee in their
Brisbane office, Civil Group.
I have given various opportunities and was able
to exchange knowledge through the work in
office, site visit and home stay with David's family.

3. Cultural Experience
I enjoyed visiting pub and Japanese restaurantwith young engineers in KBR and friends afterwork. It was a memorable experience visiting
Koala Garden and whale watching in Gold
Coast. Surely it was one of the Australia's greatest
weekends. Friendly relationship with KBR's staffs
was splendid experience for me.
I stayed in David's house in the second weekendof my training. During this home-stay, I could
explain Japanese culture and custom while
enjoying Australian food.
I cooked myself sometimes as the apartment isequipped with a small kitchen Steaks I bought ina neighboring supermarket were large in size,
tasty and reasonable price as well in comparison
with those in Japanese market.

2. Work Experience
I had training in Civil Group of the Brisbane office,where I assisted the plan of drainage facilities,
and checked the drawings of the LRT design
project in the Gold Coast city. Though I was not
used to make drawings in my work in Japan, ayoung engineer in KBR, Trung helped mydrawings. So I could accomplish assignments. It
was a valuable experience.
I was also able to visit Clem7 Tunnel Control
Center, Brisbane Metropolitan Transport
Management Center (BMTMC) and construction
site of water pipeline (Pringle Hill Tunnel) in
Sunshine Coast. We were able to exchange ITS
technology in Australia and that in Japan. I
recognized the importance of water engineeringin Australia through the site visit.

4. Summary
During YPEP2010 Program, I had much precious
and valuable experience with KBR and made alot of friends.
I thank CA, AJCE, Anna san, David san Leon sanand engineers in KBR Brisbane Office for theirheartfelt hospitality.

Nihon Suido Consultants Co.,Ltd1. Introduction
I heard about the Young Professionals Exchange
Program in the past, but I was aware that I
wouldn't have a chance to participate in thisprogram because of my ability in English. Despiteof these difficulties, I decided to challenge in thisexchange program because I thought it may be
my last chance to participate in YPEP.
It was quite fortunate that I was selected as a
trainee. I thought it would provide me a golden
opportunity.
In this report, I present pre-visit training and visit
training in Australia and what I learned in thisexchange program.

memorable city for me.
The training in Adelaide was composed of manysight-visits. We visited Glnelg wastewater
treatment plant. It introduces membrane, UV andchlorine water treatment system. We visited South
Australia Water, and Adelaide zoo that employs
rain water recycle system. Further, we visited
Coorong Park by a cruise.
When we visited SA Water, we were lucky to meetwith four staffs in SA Water and we talked about
shortage of water in SA and its countermeasures.
In SA one must pay a fine if he uses sprinklingwater beyond the limit.

2. Pre-visit Training
In pre-visit training, I exchanged E-mail with Hilarysan in ARUP. (She was a trainee in YPEP2009.). As I
didn't have much experience in English E-mail, I
studied a book on English E-mail. This was avaluable experience.
I received reports on water issues in Australia,
covering shortage of water and water recycling.
So I could understand outline of water issues inAustralia before visit training.

Melbourne is a big city in Australia, and it is wellknown to Japanese .

worked for water group. It is a very big office withmany working groups. My training was about two
weeks. My host was Rhys-san who has worked for
ARUP for two years.

4. What I Learnt in YPEP2010
Through my training, I learnt a difference inwork/life balance between Japanese andAustralian engineers. I think this issue is very hard
for Japanese young engineers.
I felt office in Australian firms was very
composedly. They surprised of our long working
hours. They advised that I should be working
normal during my stay in Australia. I think theyplace priority in spending time with their family.
Further, they try to take long vacation. This may
keep good motivation for work, so they seem nottired.
I was impressed by their friendly culture. Likeshaking hands saying "Nice to meet You!" andcalling colleagues with first name. In Japan ourstyle is bowing and exchange name cards andcalling each other by family name.
I think Australian young engineer stands on equal
position with their client due to their friendly
culture. This is very important practice for pursuingbusiness smoothly.
In the office they talk about various topics. In
Melbourne they have two coffee breaks eachday. They communicate naturally even in shorttime, so I thought coffee breaks were very
wonderful custom.

Rhys-san and Melbourne office that was very large

After we talked about experience in Adelaide, we
discussed about my training plans.
In Melbourne we had many sight-visits, too. We
visited Western Water Treatment Plant (WTP) (verylarge WTP, the area of WTP is 11,000ha!), Eastern
WTP (standard WTP having a recycling water
system.), and tennis parks where they built amembrane plant.
I learned a difference in sludge process between
Japan and Australia. In Japan we use many
processes and try to reduce volume of sludge.
However in Australia their final process is drying
under sunlight and do not reduce volume ofsludge. Sludge drying sites are very large. As
sludge is stable due to digestion process, so its
smell isn't bad.
Australian water recycling guideline describes
various items in detail than that of Japanese.
Perhaps they intend to use wastewater for drinking
in the future. But many Australian don't agree to
use wastewater for drinking now.
On last day in Melbourne I had a chance topresent my outcome in the training. I introduced
Japanese wastewater technology to watergroup's staffs in Melbourne. I felt they wereinterested in Japanese technology such as twostory settling tank.

5. Acknowledgment
I thank ARUP staffs, particularly Hilary-san andRhys-san. I owe many thanks to them. I would liketo extend my thanks to AJCE, CA, our company
and my family.
I hope to contribute in promotion of the YPEP
between Japan and Australia by making use of
my experience in YPEP2010.

1. Introduction.
In YPEP2009, CTI Engineering (CTIE) hosted ayoung engineer from ARUP, Australia. This year, I
participated in YPEP2010.
My host firm, ARUP is an international consulting
company, whose head office locates in the
United Kingdom(UK). About 10,000 employees areworking in 37 countries in the world. As they haveoffices all over the world, they can carry out
projects easily in overseas. In the Australia office,many employees come from various countries
such as UK, Spain, India, China and so on as wellas Australia.
In this year, I had training from 5th to 22nd Octoberat Adelaide and Brisbane offices of Arup.

problems in Australia. My work was to compare
water problems between Australia and Fukuoka
city, Japan.
3. Visit Training in ARUP①. Work Experience
During my training, I visited various project site
such as the Murray River Mouth, wastewater
treatment plant, water desalination plant , zoo,
etc. The most interesting project for me was thewater recycling system in Adelaide.
Adelaide has been facing water shortage as it has
scarce rainfall (about 500mm/yr). It is very
important to use recycled water efficiency.
Treated wastewater is delivered to many buildings,
houses through the pipelines which are distributed
throughout the city of Adelaide. This water is used
for non-drinking purpose, toilet, park, garden, carwash, etc. South Australia Water is thegovernment entity that manages utilization ofwater. They check whether people use water
properly or not every day. I felt the importance ofproper utilization of water. In Japan, as we havesufficient rainfall, we don't usually pay muchattention on this matter.

2. Pre-visit Training.
Hilary was the person in charge of my training whocame to CTIE for YPEP2009 last year. She belongs
to Water Group where I had training. The Group
implements projects in water supply, waste water
treatment, etc.
In the pre-visit dialogue for two months, I
communicated with Hilary about travel schedulein Australia, accommodation, training program,
etc. by e-mail. ARUP gave me assignments on thewater shortage in Murray River and its
countermeasures. Water shortage is serious

NEWS LETTER 2011②. Education of Young Engineers
The rookie employees in ARUP have to taketraining for two years. The contents are
improvement of technical skill communication
with client, etc. I observed that this is similar inJapan.
To become a Chartered Engineer(CEng), they
have to submit the documents on work
experience and undergo an interview. Similarly, it
is very difficult to be qualified as a Professional
Engineer (PEJp) in Japan. YPEP2010 gave me agood hint and motivation to prepare for PEJp.

During my stay in Australia, I watched the TV news
everyday for studying English. Especially, I wasinterested in the Murray River problems. The
Murray River is an important resource of water in
Queensland and South Australia. Recently, inflow
of water is reduced because of less rainfall,
increase of water usage by irrigation, increase ofwater utilization due to population growth. As theresult, water shortage occured in the Murray River.
Some wetlands nearby the River dry up. As acountermeasure, the government of Queensland
has imposed plan to control the usage of water
drawn from the Murray River. As a result, the plan
will cut 800 jobs. Many farmers oppose this plan. I
am anxious to know how the government solves
these problems.

5. Lifestyle in Australia.
During my stay in Australia, I rent an apartment
near the office. I thought that rental fee is high.
Many people are concerned about their health.
They exercise everyday by walking, cycling,boxing, etc. after working.

Picture.3: Water problems in Australia.

4. Pre-visit Training①. Work-Life Balance
Basically, the business hour in ARUP is from 9:00 to
17:00. Some people come to office early morningand go back home early evening. They usually
don't work over time. Most of staffs go back homeby 18:00. This is quite different from our company. I
was impressed that people separate clearly
private life from work. People spend their time with
their family, friends after working as well as
holidays,
I recognized that clients and consultants
cooperate well in a project in flexible and efficientmanner in the course of project development. In
addition, it seems that Engineer's position inAustralia is higher than that of Japan
In Japan, it is a challenge for us that while keeping
good relationship with client, we have toovercome pressure about improvement in qualityof deliverables. We also need to improve work
environment while keeping good motivation,
controlling over time, etc. at the same time. . It
was good opportunity for me to think about worklife balance in the future.

Picture.4: People exercise near river.

6. Acknowledgement
I would like to appreciate CA, ARUP, AJCE, head
office of CTI, river division in Kyusyu branch officeof CTI. Without their support and encouragement,
I couldn't have rewarding experience. I hope thatmany young engineers will have same experiencethrough future Young Professionals Exchange
Program between Australia and Japan.

We reported difference and similarity in Work-Lifebalance between Australia and Japan as
described in the followings.
(1) Similarity between Australia and Japan• Working hours is 9:00~17:00 including lunch.
• Atmosphere of working (Everyone works
intensively and quietly).

Young Summit was held on the last day of
YPEP2010 in which the details are reported
below..

Venue : Consult Australia National Office
Time : 2:00pm Opening
2:10pm Discussions and Presentations
3:20pm Afternoon Tea
3:35pm Discussions and Presentations
5:00pm Closing(2) Difference between Australia and Japan
Firms in Australia• Office space is very large and comfortable.
• Phones don't ring often (Office is very quiet)• Staffs go back home by 6:00pm (In general ,they don't work over time).
• There are many women engineers.
• Overtime work is allocated for additional
holiday.
• All the annual vacation and holidays are paidin case they are not taken. Some people
return salary for additional holidays. Somepeople have few months of vacation.
• Many people change firms or go togovernment entities.
• Position of government staffs and consultants
are almost equal.
• Depend on projects, they are allowed forextension of time and additional cost.
• Specifications are much in detail than that ofJapan. (I saw spec. of about 200pages).
• Engineers can exchange technicalinformation even if they don't belong to thesame company .
• A project scale is large and size of aconsulting firm is also large in general.
• They carry out projects in due considerationof environment.
• Depending on the size of a project, JV orAlliance is formed between consultants and2. Outline of Young Summit
Trainees and young engineers from member firmsof CA joined the Young Summit. Trainees
reported about their training for three weeks. On
the first day of YPEP2010 in Australia, manager ofCA asked us what we wanted to learn during ourtraining. We answered that we wanted to learn
not only technical aspect but also Work-Lifebalance, training for engineers and culture inAustralia as well. At the Young Summit, wereported about our professional training for three
weeks and difference in Work-Life balance , inhouse training between Australia and Japan.

project like construction of rail road, pipelines, etc.)style between Australia and Japan. Young
engineers in Australia told many times thatJapanese engineers work too much. I think this istrue.

3-2. Qualification and Training(1) Similarity between Australia and Japan• They need qualification of CPEng (Chartered
Professional Engineer) like PEJp (Professional
Engineer Japan)• CPD Program is employed.
• "On the Job Training (OJT)" is exercised.
• Training program for new employees. Training
period is longer than that of Japan.

4. Conclusion
Member of CA said that they were very glad toknow that we could have good experiences intraining for three weeks.
When we started our training in Australia, wewere very afraid that we might face various
difficulties during our training for three weeks inAustralia. But after three weeks of training; we
could learn not only Work-Life balance andtraining of engineers but also had valuable
experience in Australian culture and social life. .
Though we couldn't make impressive English
presentation, we could convey our spirit andmessage to young engineers and CA staffs inAustralia. When we speak in English, mostimportant thing would be to express what wewant, not beautiful speech. Many non-English
speaking foreigners know about this point very
well. We have to peel off our misconception that
"Japanese is shy". We are as competitive as
foreign engineers in technical skills. So let's beproactive as international consultants.

(2) Difference between Australia and Japan
Firms in Australia• Employees need to submit reports about theirprojects and take an oral examination to
become a CPEng.
• In the State of Queensland, if engineers don't
have "RPEQ" certificate, they are not qualified
for a projects.

Picture2: Presentation at Young Summit

3-3. Response of Young Engineers in Australia
Young engineers in Australia showed interest thatJapanese engineers often work over time. Whenone of the trainees showed Japanese engineer's
working hours and life style in a graph, everyone
was very surprised. Many Japanese engineers
take lunch in a very short time (about 15-30
minutes). In addition, they work for a long time.
Engineers in Australia also expressed interest that
deadline of a project is confined in February andMarch in Japan due to disbursement of budget
within a fiscal year. Finally, I thought that we
could jointly learn about difference in working

YPEP is a program that exchanges the young
engineers mutually between Consult Australia(CA) and Association of Japanese Consulting
Engineers (AJCE). Participants have an
opportunity of working at the host firm whilelearning culture and social life and lots of otherthings in Australia. It began in 1996, and now over
100 professionals participated in this exchange
program. In 2010, 6 Japanese young engineers
had training in Australian consulting firms. The visit
training period was about three weeks.

4) Communication (culture, social life,)
3 Farewell Party
After the Young Summit, we had a dinner in the
nearby restaurant. Of course, all conversation by
the Japanese trainees was in English.
Recently, English is used as an official language ininternational firms. I am certain that all the trainees
will acknowledge this trend.

2 Pre-visit Training
After selection of trainees, we started pre-visit
training. The training was implemented in thefollowings:
1) Exchange of information about trainees andhost firms such as special area of interest.
2) Outline and difference of technologicalstandard between Australia and Japan.
