**Hear from our people**

**Calum McKay, Graduate Cost Manager - Auckland**

“In my first year at Turner & Townsend I was thrown into a challenging project with an international client in my first week. After 2 months I was given a great personal development opportunity to lead the Chillers package for the APAC region. After the final tasks were closed out at handover, I supported Senior Cost Managers on a range of quantity surveying support services for a month or so on an Animal Care centre project.

I was granted another amazing opportunity to support the Melbourne project delivery team across the OFCI segment in 3 major data centres. Under intense pressure to meet an important deadline, we have succeeded in a major deliverable with the support from my senior manager and time from some colleagues. I will continue to help solve challenges each day in this exciting role”.
