'QUT provides me with the theoretical knowledge of construction methods, systems and solutions that support what I have experienced onsite in industry. During my studies I have worked on numerous Department of Education school buildings for the Hutchinson Builders Yatala Modular Yard. I am currently onsite for a luxury residential high-rise project on the Gold Coast, which has given me experience in traditional construction methods.'
Bachelor of Built Environment (Honours) (Construction Management and Quantity Surveying)
Diverse degree, diverse careers
As an investment analyst at QIC’s Global Real Estate team, I am jointly responsible for one of the fund’s largest retail centres valued at around $1 billion. My role is extremely fast paced and requires frequent travel due to our assets situated around the globe. The diversity of the degree and curriculum was a huge highlight for me, and led to an extensive range of career outcomes. Given that property is the largest commodity in the world, there is so much more you can do outside of being a real estate agent.
