Take a break, we’re on Smoko! This week we are joined by Elizabeth Williams, a trailblazer in project management within the construction industry. Williams, a graduate in building surveying with aspirations of becoming a project manager, shares her remarkable journey.
Embarking on a degree apprenticeship in building surveying, Elizabeth balanced work and study, gradually transitioning from part-time to full-time employment while pursuing her academic endeavours. Along the way, she discovered her affinity for project management and employer's agent work, setting her sights on a future as a retrofit coordinator to champion sustainability in construction.
We dissect various facets of the construction industry, from misconceptions about its male-dominated nature to the potential of modern methods of construction (MMC). Elizabeth's enthusiasm for continuous learning and her advocacy for diversity within the industry shine through, encapsulating her unwavering commitment to personal and professional growth.
