Get to know the people who make the company tick. From surveyors, CAD technicians and drone pilots to project managers, engineers and admin staff...
I started my career by studying at university, but there are many apprenticeships and entry schemes that enable talented people to join the survey family. It's about finding what suits you best and doing a job you find fulfilling and enjoyable.
I’ve had the privilege of growing from a Junior Surveyor into a Lead Surveyor. It’s been an exciting journey - especially with the advent of mobile scanning technology, which revolutionised our workflows. My proudest achievement was managing a 5,000-property portfolio during the challenges of COVID-19. Beyond that, I’ve always enjoyed the variety in my work, and currently, I'm pursuing a degree in Surveying and Mapping Sciences, which is shaping my future and expanding my knowledge in surveying technology and large-scale infrastructure projects.
One of the best parts of my apprenticeship journey has been the opportunity to collaborate with different teams at Plowman Craven. Working alongside industry professionals in various departments has given me exposure to diverse projects, technologies, and ways of thinking.
I love being able to impact how we work. I'm encouraged to challenge the status quo and develop different and new ways of working. I love that I can bring ideas to the table and they are listened to, and implemented.
No project or problem is too large if you break it down and look at individual solutions rather than one large problem. This can apply to the workplace as well as everyday life or stresses.
I've been involved in many interesting projects during my career at Plowman Craven. Everything starts when a project lands in my hands.
I am passionate about going above and beyond to beat deadlines and delivering work at the standard Plowman Craven prides itself on.
I oversee everything on a daily basis. I'm the main port of call for the client so a clear understanding and project knowledge is paramount.
Knowing you’ve been involved in a project from the very start and then delivering the final finished report to the client at the end is extremely satisfying.
You could say that surveying runs in the family as my Mum was a cartographer. Strangely enough, she worked at the company where Mr Plowman and Mr Craven worked before setting up Plowman Craven.
Best thing about working here? The company allows you to develop and learn new skills whilst trusting you to just get on with what you are supposed to be doing. It’s just the right blend of guidance and autonomy.
