We speak to Glenveagh’s Trainee Site Manager Cintia Regina Rudi Reis on finding a role that suits your interests, learning on the job, and why we should never label ourselves based on gender in the working world.
“I’m the type of person who is constantly seeking knowledge. I really like to know more about everything that contributes to my professional growth. I’m passionate about my profession and that’s what drives me.” “Effective communication and coordination are essential for the success of any construction project. I liaise with subcontractors and project managers to ensure clear communication and coordination of activities throughout the construction process. Construction projects often encounter challenges and unforeseen issues. In my role, I am tasked with identifying problems as they arise, analysing root causes, and implementing effective solutions to keep the project on track and within budget.
This didn’t come overnight, and Cintia praises Vera Ourique—a woman under whom she worked as an intern some 13 years ago—for her patience, leadership, and determination. “She had the patience to teach me a lot about everything. Her strength and resilience are admirable, but what resonates with me the most is the leadership skills she instilled in me. She guided me on how to navigate and lead in a predominantly male environment, encouraging self-belief and the determination to never give up.
