Shirley Waldron, surveyor at Delva Patman Redler LLP, started her career as an architect, before developing a career in party wall surveying. In this latest episode of Bricks & Mortar, she reflects on how she made the change and her career highlight to date: acting as party wall surveyor for the Crossrail project.
She tells Sarah Jackman what it’s like to work on a major infrastructure project, what she learned during that time and how there is huge satisfaction to be derived from completing a qualification. She urges “anyone who is thinking of getting into the construction industry to learn a discipline and see it through.”
