Graduate Stories

Eleanor Baillie
Senior Project Manager

How did you find out about the Stace Graduate Scheme?

I found out about the scheme through the visits Stace made to my university career fairs. I was attracted by the size of the company; it is a smaller firm, but we work with big clients and projects.

 

What advice would you give students who are considering the Stace Graduate Scheme?

It’s a well-rounded scheme that supplements your knowledge in all areas of construction and provides insight into the other disciplines working at Stace.

 

What do you enjoy most about working for Stace?

I enjoy the breadth of projects that Stace work on. Working on the Wembley transformation project has been really enjoyable, and I feel that we’re given a good level of responsibility for our roles. My job is varied and always changing due to the nature of projects. I also enjoy being able to see the visible outputs of my work.

 

What did you learn on the Graduate Development Scheme that you have applied to your day-to-day role?

Each session was based on a different part of the job. I found the construction law sessions very useful as Employer’s Agents need to know their contracts back to front.

 

What are your future career plans?

I became chartered with RICS as a project manager in 2023 and have been put in charge of running a small project. My career goals are now to start running larger projects and ones with an emphasis on sustainability or MMC.

Would you recommend this route to future students?

The main selling points are not only will you leave university with a degree, but you will also be debt free, you will have earned a competitive salary and the work experience you have, will make you far more valuable to future employers.
