Life as a Boyer Graduate Planner
"Since joining Boyer as a Graduate Planner, I have had the opportunity to be involved in a wide range of projects within the Midlands, including residential schemes and ancillary services. These projects have provided me with the opportunity to improve project management skills, gain essential knowledge, and liaise with consultants. Further to this, there has been a wide range of opportunities to connect and network with other people within the industry in the Midlands. Having a supportive team network within the Midlands Office has been valuable throughout the start of my career as a Graduate Planner at Boyer and will continue to be valuable as my professional development progresses. I look forward to progressing in my career and working towards my APC submission."
