I am lucky to have been given many opportunities to work on different projects at Morgan Sindall. When I started as a graduate, I gained experience in planning, commercial aspects, managing design and programming alongside my job role as a site manager.
Understanding these different job roles is essential if you want to improve in your role. With an understanding and recognition of what others do and the challenges they face, you can minimise the risk associated with some of the challenges you may face.
The Construction Engineering Management course helped me gain the technical knowledge and understanding of physical components involved in construction. It is important that the knowledge gained is applied to real life scenarios, which is something you can do if you choose to undertake a placement year.
Loughborough has inspired me through the people I have met and their desire to make a difference in the industry. Loughborough University continually strives to achieve more and will push you to do your best, and I think this is represented in its students.
