Tya, Senior Consultant, Consulting

Since joining the Sustainability group at Cyril Sweett in 2006, I have been able to form my own niche within a supportive team environment. My team leaders recognised the strengths of my diverse background in urban sustainability research, and supported me in developing my technical understanding of sustainability issues relating to buildings and construction. I have been given the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, and the freedom to pursue the areas which interest me the most. This has allowed me to shape my own career direction within the company.

One of my areas of choice is to assist house builders meet sustainability requirements in design competitions for residential sites. Through leading on such projects, I have become a first point of contact for clients looking to strengthen their bids. I joined Cyril Sweet at Consultant level, and have since been promoted to Senior Consultant. Cyril Sweett’s appraisal process provides clear markers for career advancement, ensuring achievements are recognised and appropriate training provided.

Everyone is committed and focused on their projects and daily challenges, but they also like to have fun with a variety of social activities, work related functions and charity work.

Nick, Assistant Project Manager, Glasgow

I joined the company in August 2005 moving from a surveying background. My main motivation for leaving my previous employer was to join a company where I could become involved in high profile commercial projects. In the two years plus I have been here I have not been disappointed.

I have been involved in a diverse range of sectors ranging from Industrial to Retail, including leisure and PFI schools. My contractual and commercial knowledge has grown as a result of continued exposure to key clients and major contractors.

During my time here I have steadily progressed from assisting the Senior Project Manager to acting as PM on my own projects to which I have day to day responsibility.

As well as assisting me with 'on the job training' the company has been supportive of my intention achieve a Project Management specific qualification and I hope to receive an MBA in Construction & Real Estate next year.
