Why did you choose construction as a career?

When a respected colleague moved into the building services industry a few years ago, their perspective on its complexity and critical importance for future sustainability really struck me. Hearing how much the quality of buildings and infrastructure impacts not only environmental outcomes but also the wellbeing of occupants was eye-opening, especially as we both came from media, a completely different world. Intrigued by the role this industry plays, I was inspired to explore similar opportunities. 

When I met with the BSRIA hiring team, their enthusiasm and the scope of the work made this challenge one I could not resist. Now, several months in, I am thrilled with the move; it has proven every bit as rewarding and impactful as I had hoped.
