Margaret Burrell - MRICS Chartered Surveyor

Margaret Burrell joins The Construction Cogs Podcast to share her journey through construction to becoming a MRICS chartered surveyor. Margaret didn't come from a traditional construction background. She had a law degree, a master’s in international relations, and had worked across schools, charities, government and housing before redundancy changed the direction of her life. That change eventually led her into construction project management, where she built a 15-year career across public sector, private sector, consultancy and major project delivery. In this episode, Margaret talks about finding construction later in life, becoming a chartered surveyor, working in rooms where she didn't always fit, and why she felt she had something to prove. We also discuss her RICS APC journey, studying while on maternity leave.  This is a conversation about finding your place in construction, even when nobody told you the industry was an option.
