Reporting to Regional Director

During my time at Bowmer + Kirkland I have been heavily involved pre-construction tendering of complex projects offering buildability guidance and finding value engineering solutions to enhance and formulate our bid proposals. I’ve also managed teams of design staff and consultants delivering two high value and complex higher education projects for the business.

    The square is intended to provide space for events and other community uses.  

    Around 300 trees are being planted as part of the project, and a 50,000-bee colony will sit on the roof of the student centre.
