a site manager

With a firm-and-fair way of doing things, Duncan is a site manager with many years experience. He's seen changes in the industry for better and for worse; from the descent of his business during the recent financial crisis to the drastically improved working conditions compared to the beginning of his career.

Despite all the ups and downs, Duncan loves what he does and sees construction as a progressive job for life that is always changing. To anyone interested in a construction job, he recommends gaining skills in a trade background as this allows the best platform to get started - and stresses that this is widely respected by employers who are often on the look out for apprentices.
