Nicola Flanagan, Assistant Project ManagerI had zero experience in the construction industry previously. You don’t have to have existing knowledge, just be willing to learn.”
Site Administrator
Matteo Di Giacomo is a Surveying Administrator with a background in Accountancy and Economics. Before joining Keltbray, Matteo was a manager in a different industry so was totally new to construction.
Matteo Di Giacomo, Site Administrator“This didn’t stop me and I’m really enjoying it. I’m currently working as the Site Administrator for our 20 Ropemaker Street project. Prior to this I worked on the Battersea Power Station Project, and I am still in touch with the QS whenever they need me. At the end of my apprenticeship I aspire to be fully operational as a business admin and one day to move on towards management for the commercial section. Working and studying at the same time is so rewarding. Day by day you learn real skills in a real workplace and I believe this is a life experience that hardly any schools deliver.”
Grade 2 Engineer
Olateju Kuya is a Graduate Design Engineer at Wentworth House Partnership, part of Keltbray Group, designing temporary works that enable the construction of permanent works. Olateju chose the job as her dad was also an engineer and her role model as a child, so she always wanted a career like his. She chose temporary works in particular because of the dynamic nature of the job.
Olateju Kuya, Grade 2 Engineer“Every week at WHP comes with a new challenge and that keeps me engaged and interested.”
Social Value Manager
Jamie Parkes is Social Value Manager for Keltbray, working across our business to support the communities in which we work through partnering with a wide range of organisations and charities. He has been at Keltbray for nearly 2 years.
Jamie Parkes, Social Value Manager“After studying Criminology, I never thought I would end up working in construction. My background before Keltbray was working for ex-offender organisations and helping them gain employment. During this time, I worked with Keltbray on a few programmes and was always impressed by their commitment to supporting diversity. Now I am lucky enough to be on the other side as Social Value Manager and be able to work with a number organisations and charities that support a wide range of people.
Social Value was a relatively new term when I started but has grown in significance, bringing its challenges along the way. I look forward to continuing to drive Social Value.”
