Summary
I started out in administration at a different company before joining MV Kelly as a Commercial Administrator, where I gained a solid understanding of how the commercial side of construction works day to day. Being involved in document management, supporting the commercial team, and liaising with suppliers and site staff gave me a strong foundation and pushed me towards the Quantity Surveying side of the job.
This led to my move into a Trainee Quantity Surveyor role, where I’m now getting hands-on experience with measurements, costs, valuations, and the general commercial process. I’m ambitious, keen to progress, and willing to put in the work. I enjoy being part of a team, taking on new tasks, and developing my skills as I go.
