“For me the Port is a fantastic place to work, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working on the City Deal’s PDM project, improving the Port’s infrastructure. No two days are the same and my role is challenging and exciting.”
“The sense of achievement when you see a previously disused area completely transform into a functioning asset for our community and stakeholders. As a social person, the opportunity to work with a wide variety of professionals, suppliers, stakeholders and within your own community is hugely rewarding.”
