"I am Section Engineer at a construction company, supporting the construction of a number of infrastructure and Highway projects (Roadworks).In my job, I need to be persistent, self-motivated and decisive to solve problems, which matches well with the ‘Innovator’ type. I am a strong communicator, who is also outgoing, confident and organised – perfect for the ‘Campaigner’ and ‘Trainer’ types."

"I am a Section Engineer at a construction company, supporting the construction of a number of infrastructure and Highway projects.As a Section Engineer, my role involves planning, setting out and design co-ordination. Setting out means measuring and marking out a plan of a building. I also organise people and equipment at the plant and communicates with internal and external parties.I really enjoy the problem solving and learning opportunities in my job. I could even have the chance to travel in my industry. Some of my friends and former colleagues live and work in Dubai, America, Canada and the Caribbean!I really like the sense of achievement I get as I move around the country and pass a structure I have helped to build!"

"I did a Btec extended diploma in Construction and the Built Environment, followed by a degree, a BSc (hons) in Construction Project Management. I went straight into my current role whilst I was still in education, on a starting salary of £18,000. I have always been motivated to succeed and really enjoy the ongoing development opportunities. I graduated from university in 2016 and have received 2 promotions during this time."

"In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family including my daughter Zara who is almost 1, my husband Dean and my 2 dogs Peanut and Elvis. You will often find me socialising with my friends and family, spending time at home and traveling the world, 3 of my favorite places to visit have included Mexico, Morocco and Las Vegas - where I have been 3 times. I chair the local Chartered Institute of Building Novus group for her region, attending events to support young people in the construction industry. I also got into the final 8 in Europe in 2016 for the best young woman engineer of the year – what an achievement!In the future, I hope to continue to progress in the construction industry, into a more senior role in planning."

"A normal day would include setting out, attending meetings and dealing with problems design issues and subcontractors, whilst managing a small team of site engineers. "
