My parents are both mechanical engineers. It’s a common profession for women in Poland so I had a lot of role models to inspire me. I was good at maths and physics so it was an obvious vocation for me. After university, I moved to Dubai, where I worked on large-scale projects for 10 years before moving to the UK (and Cundall) in 2017. Having started in mechanical engineering, I then progressed to a building services lead role before taking on a design management role.

As design managers, we are dedicated to understanding our clients’ needs and conveying them to our project teams. We have built a positive environment where communication and information flows and stakeholder management is enhanced. This enables us to deliver quality and excellence, and also guide our clients to improve their operations.

I have spent the last few years building Cundall’s design management team dedicated to the critical systems sector. I value and cherish the high levels of collaboration that we have built across and between teams. Design management and project leadership are key to the successful delivery of our projects.
