Watch the recording of our session on ex-military personnel transitioning to built environment careers at UK Construction Week
We held a
conversation-led session featuring stories from ex-military personnel who have
transitioned to built environment careers. We heard from Moamen Al-Gawwam, a
former Royal Navy Officer now working as a Digital Engineer at Taylor Woodrow,
along with other ex-military personnel working in the built environment.
Chaired by Angela Forbes, Chair of the BuildForce Steering Group, this session
provided an opportunity to reflect on the culture of the industry, as well as
encouraging participation to come up with an action plan for change. If you
