As a 25-Year-old Senior Engineer, I often get asked by people outside the company “How have you managed this role at a young age?”. The answer is simple, Coinford and their trust! I have worked for Coinford since leaving College at 17 and have seen how quickly you can go from being a worker to part of the Family.

Being incredibly lucky I found myself in an apprenticeship with Coinford where they invested their time, effort and money into me to help me grow a career out of a passion for engineering. Over the years I have learnt that Coinford are more than just a company to work for, guiding me through my HNC at Greenwich University, it became clear to me that Coinford were seeking to guide and help build peoples careers and skills through their years of experience.

Being involved in major Projects like Temple Hill, Dickens Gate, Martello Lakes and Whitfield I feel incredibly privileged to be able to boast about the vast array of projects Coinford has allowed me to see. From setting out large podium slabs in Temple Hill to overseeing major deep drainage works in Martello Lakes and Whitfield, there has been very little Coinford has yet to show me!

Coinford’s multitude of departments have been a great asset in making my time at Coinford a pleasant one. All departments work effectively and help to create a well-oiled machine that is Coinford, I know I can rely on the backing of our departments to help Construction run smoothly.

Seeing Coinford’s devotion to health and safety really helps me to know that not only will I be able to carry out all work safely and effectively, but also go home at the end of the day safe and secure! Something which I greatly appreciate.

The tools available to myself for engineering purposes are always top quality and are held to a high standard of care and calibration. Many new implementations across Coinford have also been a great addition, like the GPS units for our excavators. The support and help that comes with these tools if needed is always greatly appreciated also.

To conclude, my long time at Coinford has lead my to understand that Coinford not only invest and care about their teams, but invest and care about their plant, offices and quality of work we hand over. It has been a privilege working at Coinford and would highly recommend them to anyone look for a career in the Civil Engineering and Groundworks path.
