Murrindindi Shire Council is proud to congratulate Jaymie Elward on successfully completing the Victorian Government’s Women Building Surveyors Program, becoming a qualified Building Surveyor and reaching a significant milestone in her career.
Jaymie’s journey from cadet to qualified Building Surveyor highlights the supportive and inclusive environment at Council and Jaymie’s hard work and dedication.
The Building Services team has been key in guiding and mentoring Jaymie, helping her gain the skills and experience needed to succeed.
The Women Building Surveyors Cadetship Program provides councils across Victoria with funding to employ aspiring professionals and give hands-on experience and thorough training in building surveying to support their education. Jaymie’s success proves the program’s effectiveness and its potential for future cadets.
Jaymie shared her thoughts on this achievement.
“Completing my cadetship and becoming a qualified Building Surveyor has been a challenging yet incredibly rewarding journey,” she said.
“I’m thankful for the guidance and support I received from both my colleagues and supervisors throughout the Program.
“This experience has not only equipped me with the essential skills needed for the role but has also inspired me to encourage other women to consider careers in building surveying.
“The industry is fast-paced and ideal for those who thrive on challenges. You have to embrace being busy, and no matter how long you’ve been in the role, there’s always something new to learn every day.”
Council’s Building Services team plays a crucial role in promoting good building practices and ensuring that buildings in the Shire are safe and compliant.
They offer valuable services to the community, such as conducting building inspections, approving permits, and providing advice on building regulations.
Jaymie’s new qualification will strengthen the team’s capabilities and improve the services offered to residents and businesses.
