Life as a Boyer Graduate Planner
"Being a Graduate Planner at Boyer, I have gained valuable experience in a short amount of time. The opportunities in project management for minor hospitality projects and assisting in major residential projects have provided this. The empowerment from these projects has aided my confidence in attending project meetings and networking events. The naturally supportive environment has been the foundation and continues to provide me with guidance and exposure day-by-day. As a result, I look forward to progressing my professional development at Boyer."
