A day in the life of Fin Flaherty...
I’m Fin Flaherty - 21 years old and a Construction Management Graduate working within The North-West building group at Tilbury Douglas.
I’m part of the new graduate scheme rolled out this year where I spend three months working in different disciplines to help me find out where in the company I would most enjoy working. I am currently working as an Assistant Site Manager at the Oldham Library projects under Site Managers, Zak and Jeff and Project Manager Ian Rodgers.
Daily Schedule:
- 7:45 - (start time) I get my desk set up and have a look at the plan for the day and what works are being carried out on the project.
- 8:00 - I then get to take part in the morning meeting with the sub-contractors where the plan for the day is laid out and any issues they may be facing on site is sent back to us.
- 9:00 - I go out on site with the site managers to do a site walk and inspect the progress of the job, update progress photos and ensure health and safety is being followed before going into meetings and carrying out work I have been assigned for the day.
- 11:00 - Around 11am I usually have a small break where I can relax and have a snack before getting ready to go back to my tasks.
- 12:30 - I usually have my lunch around 12:30 in the canteen whilst watching tv shows on my phone.
- 14:00 - I then attend all the afternoon meetings that are taking place as well as carrying out the work I have been assigned.
- 17:00 - As I finish for the day, I help do final checks to the site making sure everything is locked up as well as helping to fill out the daily site diaries.
