A lunchtime Masterclass for those seeking to understand the new skills & mindset required for the Net Zero transition
Net Zero is more than just a buzzword or a standard we might aspire to in the distant future. Net Zero is a global mega-trend, fast gathering momentum. The old ways of designing, procuring, building, and operating our buildings are being reinvented. Old hierarchies have been challenged. Accepted norms are rapidly becoming obsolete. This rapidly changing landscape means individuals and organizations within the built environment need a new suite of skills and a whole new mindset if they are to respond to the Net Zero imperative with agility and intelligence.

Here's the 2nd of the recruitment series.
In this episode, I speak about the problems recruiters create and how to stop them.
This includes recruiters flooding your inbox, not sending you the right discipline of engineer you're looking for, sending irrelevant CVs, not listening or acting on your requests.

Alex is a seasoned engineering professional, a chartered engineer with a wealth of experience in Building Services, and when I heard he started an engineering consultancy of his own, mid-COVID-lockdown, there were several questions that ran through my head including:
-
Are you crazy? Is this going to work?
-
Is this the only option you had, that’s why you’re doing it?
-
Why are you so confident this is going to work but other businesses with more money and established brands are not so prepared to do this?
So, I asked him all these questions…
Additionally, and during our conversation, we touched on:
Alex’s career steps, where to find less stress and more money, the challenges he’s expecting including those he shares with more established businesses, what success looks like to him and the advice he’d give to others who are unsure about where to invest.

This podcast touched on a number of topics while in discussion with an Electrical Building Services Engineer.
Hannah is new to Building Services Engineering coming from international travel in an Oil, Gas & Energy role with Flour.
Her professional challenges include her experience of being a woman in a male-dominated industry and how that contrasts with cultures around the world.
We went on to speak about the challenges faced having started a new role just before the UK lockdown due to COVID-19 and how she has had to adapt despite only working with her team for 3 weeks. Later, with bravery, Hannah shares the stressful and tragic challenges she faced in her personal life, and how she managed to turn things around and now offers mental health support for those who need it.

We were joined by David Gilbey - Head of Lighting, London Design studio, NDY Light (a TetraTech company)
David is passionate about his work and touches on several topics including:
- The Italian saying: "Life is hard, life is a sacrifice"
- His international experience
- How lighting design connects with mental health (we made reference to #engineeryourmind)
- How Job applicant CVs are not uncovering rough-diamond-like talent
- Celebrity friends
- How he changed an aspiring civil engineers mind to choose lighting design as a career (this is hilarious)
- When he defended competing colleagues work, even though the client wanted to hire David
- The language of colour is different around the world (green doesn't mean "go" everywhere in the world)

Ashley's challenge amid the #COVID19 crisis has nothing to do with working alone. He works on his own and has been doing so since 2013.
He's a chartered engineer, husband, and a dad of 2 - he is a design engineer and runs his won company.
Ashley shares his career storey, how he defined success for himself, when he wanted to be a marine biologist & an astronaut (WHAT?!), and who he still looks up to for inspiration.
