In honour of International Women's Day on 8 March 2021, we caught up with our Social Value Co-ordinator Megan Prigmore, to find out more about her role and how she will #ChooseToChallenge this IWD2021.

I’m Lewis Morgan, I’ve been working as a Repair and Maintenance Apprentice at Murphy in East and North London for nearly two years.

I’m Emily Moore, I am an Apprentice Quantity Surveyor working in the Natural Resources and Power sector.  I have been with Murphy now for around 6 months.

I am a Buyer in Central Procurement and I am on a funded apprenticeship working towards my CIPS qualifications.  I recently reached my 20-year service with Murphy and became a member of the procurement team four years ago.

I joined Murphy in June 2019, working on the Network Rail CP6 Framework in the Transportation (Rail) sector. My current role involves leading and managing design organisations in the design delivery of multidisciplinary railway projects ranging from Overhead Line Electrification (OLE) structure replacements, station building refurbishments and new station enhancements. I also line manage and mentor staff members within the business.

My name is James and I am 23 years old. Before starting my apprenticeship with Murphy Electrical Services (MES), I worked in various sectors across Murphy. I worked on lots of different roles like civils, operating a variety of different machinery.

I am working on the LOCROS project (Crossrail scheme) to provide step-free access at Hanwell, Langley, Iver and Taplow station. I provide commercial support to my team, which includes subcontract application assessments, project cost control, payment support, measurement of quantities and such.

I previously worked as summer placement quantity surveyor in Malaysia and for the Murphy Construction and Property team. Each experience at Murphy has been fundamentally different, as each project is unique, and the people involved are also different.

Since February 2019, Callum Taylor has been working alongside our Repair & Maintenance and Developer Services North London (DS NL) teams. He has recently become a valuable member of the DS NL team and his main roles include setting up a safely guarded site and ensuring the relevant equipment is used to make the final connection to a customer’s supply.

My name is Zoya Latif and I am a Quantity Surveying apprentice, working with the power team. I am in the second year of my degree apprenticeship, studying at London Southbank University. I previously worked for the Construction & Property team.

The role involves everything from team development, health and safety, budget requirements for plant maintenance, arranging service contracts, attending client liaison meetings, preparing technical reports, third party and in-house audits to making a good cup of tea! 

Ben has worked at Murphy since 2017 in our busy Procurement Team. He is the Head of Central Procurement and looks at our procurement strategy and supplier relationship management.

I am Emilee Mayes, 19 years old and I work for Murphy Plant Ltd at the Ollerton depot. I work in the Plant and Transport office and am in the process of completing a Business Administration Level 3 apprenticeship. I love my job and don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner!

My name is Adam Gillmon and I’m an Apprentice Quantity Surveyor working in M2 Transportation (Rail). I decided to go down the apprenticeship route rather than full-time University due to the fact that I could gain crucial experience and on the job knowledge whilst also studying for a degree part-time. The tasks that my role involves can vary on a weekly basis, this can include managing the costs hitting a project through to the weekly cost trackers and working with client and subcontract applications.

I would definitely recommend a career at Murphy - for apprentices and graduates the quality of training Murphy provides is second to none, and you feel part of a team trying to achieve something special.​​​​​​​

I am part of the project delivery team working at Barking for National Grid. My weeks comprise of a variety of activities ranging from site management, programme management, client engagement and commercial input. Being site based provides an excellent opportunity to understand the full workings of the project from design to install and commission.

My current role as project manager is for the delivery of the Birmingham Interchange Highways scope of works for HS2. I am currently based in the LMJV office in the centre of Birmingham but will be relocating out to the Birmingham Interchange area when the compound is set up.

I work for Murphy Process Engineering Limited, assisting the project management team to plan, procure, resource and execute our projects on time, on cost and on quality. I am based at our Citywest office, only a 45-minute journey from Dublin City Centre.  

I enjoy applying lessons learned from previous experience, working with very clever people and encouraging graduate engineers to find their voice.
