“I joined FDC as a Contracts Administrator 15 years ago, after deciding that my previous career in interior design wasn’t for me. Construction just felt right, and I enjoyed being involved in the detail. I was lucky to have supportive management since day one, and to be put on some incredible jobs early on in my career that gave me the opportunity to get to where I am now.
That first job was a huge two-year project for Qantas which involved refurbing four buildings, undertaking strengthening works and joining the building with a massive atrium. It was one of the first huge-scale designer construction, fitout and refurb jobs FDC delivered, and it was the beginning of my career trajectory. Over the years, I progressed from a Project Coordinator role to Project Manager and Senior Project Manager, before stepping into my current role as Project Director.
If you’ve got a passion, pursue it. You know what you’re capable of. You know what you can do. And don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t.”
