Careers Event – East Surrey College

Recently we enjoyed a productive day at East Surrey College, where our Operations Manager, Aidan Munnelly, joined forces with Carly Robson from Balfour Beatty plc for a Careers Event on behalf of the NEAR scheme. We met with students enrolled in construction-focused courses, offering them a peek into the future of the industry. 🏗

With Zone’s VR headset in tow, Aidan demonstrated how technology is reshaping construction, providing students an immersive experience of what their careers might hold. 🚀

Aidan also shared insights from his own career path—from his education in construction to his current role—highlighting the continuous learning and growth opportunities in this field. 🎤

It was a great opportunity to connect with the next generation of construction professionals, discussing their aspirations and potential career paths. 🤝

A massive thanks to Carly Robson for organising. This event was supported by members of the NEAR Scheme (Sue Seals, Jonathan Knight EngTech MICE, Anushey M.), Balfour Beatty’s BIM team (Bincy Francis), Balfour Beatty’s Drone Operator (Craig Matthews) & Robot Dog Handler (Jay Saddington), as well as supply chain partners J. MCCANN & CO. (NOTTM) LIMITED, HW Martin (Traffic Management) Limited and VGC Group.

Looking forward to future events and continuing to engage with young talents in our industry.
