Assistant Site Manager shares her passion for construction

In aid of International Women’s Day, we interviewed one of our Assistant Site Managers, Emily Langston, to find out about what drew Emily to a career in the housebuilding sector. 

Born in Broadway, Worcestershire, Emily grew up in a farming family where she soon learned that she wanted a career that would encompass her love of the outdoors. Emily, now 22 years of age, said: “I wanted to find a role that challenged me and I think having the opportunity to build and create the most important place in a person’s life definitely sparked my interest. They say home is where the heart is and I think it's a great feeling to think you are building the foundations for so many memories”. 

“I enjoy the variety the role brings as you have to be ready to manage and solve unforeseen challenges. My main responsibilities include health and safety monitoring, ensuring the build program is kept on schedule and quality checks. Having been at Herdwick Fold from the launch of the development a year ago, it has given me a great opportunity to be involved in setting up a site and seeing it grow”.
