I’ve always been practical and my dad suggested going into the construction industry. I did a degree in construction project management as it seemed like a good fit for me and it all worked out pretty well considering I sort of fell into it at a time when I wasn’t too sure exactly what I wanted to do. More recently, I have received great support from all levels of management throughout my time at Mace that has really shaped my professional development.
Given how well it’s worked for me, I would suggest going to university, doing a placement year to suss out the different roles in construction and then applying for a graduate scheme. Then, to be successful, you need to have a positive mental attitude and be a problem solver, not a problem maker.
An increase in the use of modular prefabrication. It’s huge in the UK already but is quite new to the market in Australia. It has such huge benefits for the client and contractor so it’s inevitable that it will grow once its full potential is realised.
Catching up with friends, exploring the great Australian outdoors and riding my motorbike. I suppose I've always been a Liverpool FC fan but given that they lose a lot my passion if often put to the test.
