Meet Jenni Andrews from State Transit

Jenni Andrews is the Operational Training Manager at State Transit and she believes that passion leads to opportunities.

We spoke to Jenni to get to know her a little better.

What do you do at Transport?

I lead a team of facilitators, coordinators, driver capability trainers and driver coaches who are collaboratively building the skills, knowledge and capabilities of bus operators at State Transit.

What’s your proudest moment?

Launching the new Operational Training team in 2019 and then seeing the development of the team and their individual capabilities. Now we’ve been a team for over 12 months and I can see the difference they make to the trainees’ experience working for State Transit, each and every day.

What advice do you have for women who are looking to progress their careers in Transport?

Find what motivates and drives you. I love working in the learning environment and people notice when you have a passion for what you do. Passion leads to opportunities and I look forward to many more in the future.

How do you ensure a good work/life balance?

I’m still working on that one but having a flexible working arrangement makes it easier. Working in an operational environment and with two small girls, a husband and a puppy dog - life is busy! I try to make sure that when I am at home with my family they get all my attention. I also try and make time for me by going to the gym or taking a walk.

Tell us something people may not know about you?

I love musicals and see just about every one that comes to Sydney or Melbourne. This love sometimes turns to obsession - I’ve seen Wicked 10 times in three countries!
