How can you plan for a sustainable career in construction? If you aren’t sure what to expect or the role that you could play, then join us on 29th April for a vibrant panel discussion with representatives from Amey and Balfour Beatty. In this webinar, we take a deep dive into the construction sector, showcasing the breadth of roles which can support environmental and sustainable development goals. From data analysis, to architecture, engineering, social sustainability and impact assessment, there’s a huge variety of skills needed across the board, so dial in to discover your future career prospects and the role that you could play. We’ll also hear from two early-careers individuals, who can answer your questions about their journey into the sector.

Speakers

The discussion will be facilitated by Alan Darby, Senior Corporate Partnerships Manager at IEMA. He’ll be joined by:

  • John Halsall, Technical Director and Practice Lead – Environmental Management and Assessment at Amey
  • Samuel Wade, Environmental Consultant Degree Apprentice at Amey
  • Joanna Gilroy, Group Sustainability Director at Balfour Beatty
  • Martina Silickis, Sustainability Advisor at Balfour Beatty

What to expect?

We’ll ask our panellists to speak to questions such as:

  • Which roles are in demand in the construction sector?
  • What are the types of roles that specifically relate to the environment, and what skills are needed to do them?
  • Can people career change into construction?
