When Lorrayne Coelho first came across Lidiar Group on LinkedIn, she was drawn in by its multidisciplinary approach and practical, outcome-focused reputation. With experience across a variety of sectors, Lorrayne was looking for an environment that would challenge her, allow her to keep learning, and match her values around collaboration and capability-building.
“What stood out to me was Lidiar Group’s mission to connect and empower clients by energising and strengthening their capabilities,” she says. “That really aligned with what I was looking for—being part of work that supports people and makes a lasting impact.”
An Experience That Exceeded Expectations
Lorrayne joined Lidiar Group expecting a fast-paced workplace. What she didn’t expect was the high level of trust and collaboration she experienced from day one.
“It’s exceeded my expectations,” she says. “I was able to contribute to meaningful work immediately, which is so important to me. The team is welcoming, and the leadership is approachable and supportive. You feel empowered to make decisions but also know that help is there when you need it.”
Working on Projects That Matter
One of the most rewarding aspects of Lorrayne’s time so far has been her current project – working with the commercial team of a defence company to review and improve processes.
“It started as a process review,” she explains, “but it’s grown into something much broader, including improving engagement with sales, increasing visibility, and strengthening data security. It’s strategic, but also very hands-on. I enjoy that mix.”
Her day-to-day work varies, which she enjoys. “It’s a dynamic environment. You have your schedule, but the direction can shift depending on client needs. I like the challenge of that.”
Developing Processes with Purpose
Lorrayne’s background in engineering gave her a structured way of thinking, but working at Lidiar Group has helped her develop a deeper understanding of how people and culture shape success.
“Processes don’t exist in isolation,” she says. “You’re not just writing documents – you’re influencing how people work and interact. It takes time and involvement. The most rewarding part is when people understand the value and start to adopt the changes in a way that makes their work better.”
While she enjoys developing processes and systems – she’s currently building one in SharePoint – Lorrayne says she’s not overly rigid in her approach. “I’m organised in my own way, but I’m also flexible. I try to think about what works best for the whole team, not just for me.”
A Culture That Supports Learning and Collaboration
For Lorrayne, one of the best aspects of working at Lidiar Group is the learning culture.
“Development here happens naturally and intentionally,” she says. “You’re encouraged to take ownership, work on complex projects, and bring your strengths to the table while developing new ones.”
That support also comes from her colleagues. “The people here are knowledgeable, professional, and always looking for ways to improve how we do things. It’s collaborative, not competitive. That really stood out to me during the interview process, and the reality has been even better.”
