'I love great variety in facilities management career'

“We have seen an increase in women choosing careers in construction, thanks to our in-house Women in Construction campaigns"

Grainne de Mórdha, general manager, BAM Facilities Management Ireland, says: "No day is the same. “I get involved in all stages of projects: tendering, operations and lifecycle replacements."

The facilities management sector is undergoing a revolution as more people return to offices, requiring businesses and organisations to provide safe and secure working environments.

A Cork-based engineer originally from the Gaeltacht in Dún Chaoin, Grainne de Mórdha joined BAM having completed a degree in civil engineering at NUIG. She worked on construction sites for six years as a site engineer, and in 2013 started as an operations manager for BAM FM Ireland, progressing to her current position of general manager, BAM Facilities Management Ireland.
