CAREER STORIES
Emily Hayden - Senior Project Manager, Plymouth
“I had an interest in the property market from a young age and therefore, decided to start my career with a local residential letting agents at 17.
After a few years working as an agent, I realised that my passion was to be involved in the construction of buildings. This type of role would enable me to be able to get out on site, as well as spending time in the office”.
Joanna Godolphin - Senior Quantity Surveyor, Truro
“I fell into construction accidentally! I had undertaken a BA (Hons) in Music, through the Open University, and was not sure where to go from there, as I was keen to stay in Cornwall.
I have always loved architecture and the built environment, but as I was much better at maths than art at school, becoming an architect didn’t seem like an option”.
Tim Hall - Senior Quantity Surveyor, Truro
“I had finished GCSEs at school and decided to carry on studying at 6th form until I could decide what I wanted to do with my life! I have always had an interest in construction and came up with several ideas of how I could turn this into a career, but nothing turned into a credible pathway”.
