Personally, it gave me the flexibility to balance work and childcare as our family grew.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s been a breath of fresh air to see more and more women entering the sector, and we&#8217;re proud to have trained two female joiner apprentices in our company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued: \u201cMy advice to anyone considering construction careers is simple: if you have an interest in any part of it \u2013 a skilled trade, manufacturing, traditional building methods, design, surveying, accounts, health and safety \u2013 explore it. There is a place for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Jemma Catterson<\/h4>\n<p>Award-winning FMB member Jemma Catterson took a different route to the same conclusion. She started in a health, safety, environmental, and quality role at Lowry Building &amp; Civil Engineering in Castlederg and now helps decide which projects the firm takes on as a business development manager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConstruction offers so many opportunities, and it matters that more women and girls see themselves in that future,\u201d Jemma said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Lowry we have women in engineering, quantity surveying, marketing, site management, safety and accounting \u2013 all central to the success of the business. Some still think this isn&#8217;t an industry for women. That&#8217;s changing.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FMB Northern Ireland is encouraging young people to consider construction careers, with new research highlighting how female role models could inspire the next generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":166533,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[285],"tags":[764,172892,660,623],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-166532","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hr-skills-news","8":"tag-fmb","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-skills-shortage","11":"tag-women-in-bim"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Students and women in Northern Ireland encouraged to consider construction careers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"FMB Northern Ireland is encouraging young people to consider construction careers and highlighting how female role models can inspire the next generation\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/students-women-northern-ireland-encouraged-consider-construction-careers\/166532\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Students and women in Northern Ireland encouraged to consider construction careers\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"FMB Northern Ireland is encouraging young people to consider construction careers and highlighting how female role models can inspire the next generation\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/students-women-northern-ireland-encouraged-consider-construction-careers\/166532\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
