Teenager Hannah makes an impression on Balfour Beatty

ongoing

Teenager Hannah Mayatt has landed her dream job after work experience in Ebbsfleet Garden City led to a full-time offer. Hannah, 18, has been taken on by Balfour Beatty who are building a bridge that will link Springhead Park residents directly to Ebbsfleet International station. She had previously worked on the bridge project, funded by Ebbsfleet Development Corporation, for a week-long work experience. Hannah will start her career in September on another Ebbsfleet Development Corporation-funded scheme, improvement works to the A2. Quantity surveying, like engineering, is widely regarded as a male-dominated industry, but Hannah is looking forward to bucking the trend and has some advice for construction companies who want to attract more females to the industry.
