The Creative

The sky’s never the limit

Whether it’s a new stadium, a brand new bridge or an exciting addition to a housing estate; every construction project needs to be designed and creatives are here to do just that.

Creatives combine artistic ability with a mathematical and methodical approach. They’re no stranger to technology in design and use their visual capabilities to get projects off the ground.

Creatives often:
Create sketches, build layouts, and make calculations
Work closely with architectural and design teams
Keep up with software advances in design
Present and explain visuals to colleagues and clients
Have an organised and methodical approach to work
Investigate various materials to determine which would be the best to use

Creative people do not see things merely for what they are; they see them for what they can be."

A 360 excavator operator controls a large digging machine which sits on a rotating base, allowing them to pick up large amounts of earth or other materials, and move them anywhere within the vehicle’s radius. 360 excavator operators use these machines to clear ground for new developments such as housing or roads and may also dig foundations.
3D visualiser

Salaries are in the region of £35,000.00. Salaries will vary depending on location/employer

3D visualisers bring architects’ ideas to life, taking plans, architectural illustrations and other reference materials and using these to produce photo-realistic 3D images or animations of proposed buildings and developments. As a 3D visualiser, you’ll need to be both creative and technically-minded, in order to model prospective buildings that will both function well and look good.

Design manager

Salaries are in the region of £90,000.00. Salaries will vary depending on location/employer

Design managers coordinate all of the design work required during construction projects. They manage the production of technical drawings and plans used to build a structure.
