Department: Advanced Technologies

Previous Roles/Industry Experience: Project Quantity Surveyor, working as a consultant quantity surveyor supervising and controlling construction project budgets associated with multi-million pound projects throughout Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Benefit(s) of learning from an industry expert: I firmly believe students are being taught by industry professionals with key on-site project management experience rather than being taught by a textbook in school.

Tell us why students should study your course/subject area at Northern Regional College: Students wishing to pursue a career in Quantity Surveying should enrol at the Northern Regional College (the college of choice) and experience a first class delivery of surveying disciplines that will equip students with the necessary understanding and skills base allowing them to be successful within the construction industry working as a professional.

Most rewarding part of your job: Seeing current and past students excel and being successful within the construction industry.

Most memorable moment at Northern Regional College: A past student is now working as a practice associate architect in one of the world’s most prestigious Architectural design firms (RSHP - Richard Rogers Architectural Consultancy).
