Hi Shaun, how long have you worked at Arcus and what was your previous background?
I’ve worked at Arcus for the past three years, starting off as a University Placement student. Fortunately, I was offered the opportunity to stay with Arcus during my final year of studies at Liverpool John Moores’ University and progressed into a full-time position on completion of my degree.
What’s your typical workday like?
Varied! I could be out-and-about carrying out surveying tasks such as condition and measured surveys to a wide assortment of properties, or I can be in the office working on multiple projects, producing schedules of works and associated drawings, or preparing tender packs for a client.
What’s your favourite aspect of your job?
Knowing that the projects I am involved with are improving not only the built environment but are also having a positive effect on people’s lives.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I’m a season ticket holder at Liverpool FC and have travelled all over Europe supporting them. I also love attending gigs and festivals, enjoying a broad spectrum of music from Metal to Motown!
If you were stranded on a desert island, what one item would you take with you?
Sun cream – I burn very easily!
