COEL

A day in the life of Callum Hale, Pre-Construction Manager here at COEL ??♂? ?? Callum has been with us for just over a year and it has been a pleasure to see him leverage his myriad of skills. He's been instrumental in increasing our conversion rates and contributing to a very healthy business pipeline. ?? In Callum's words: "My experience has been really good. This role is more dynamic than other roles I've had. It's also been great to work collaboratively with the various teams at COEL in the initial stages of projects. ?? Having worked in the construction industry for 10 years in the drawing/modelling side of the industry as well as having spent a couple of years as a site manager, it's been great to pivot into a more customer-facing role." Whose day in the life would you like to see next?? Let us know in the comments ??
