Investing in the Next Generation: Coen’s Journey with Kilmac

At Kilmac, we’re passionate about nurturing young talent and creating opportunities that align with our commitment to social responsibility. Recently, we welcomed Coen, a motivated young man with a strong interest in technology and IT, for a four-week work placement. He had previously been chosen to be on a computer course but never got the opportunity as to many were in for it, so there wasn’t a place.


Bringing Technology into Construction
From the start, Coen’s enthusiasm for a career involving computers shone through. As our industry evolves with cutting-edge technology, this placement gave him the chance to dive into the vital role IT plays in shaping construction and engineering.

During his time with us, Coen got hands-on experience with several IT tasks, including:

  • Working on Earthworks modelling: learning its purpose, contouring techniques, and how to carry points forward.

This experience wasn’t just about learning technical skills—it was also about understanding how IT and modelling support the construction process.


Looking Ahead: An Apprenticeship in the Built Environment
Coen’s passion and determination left a strong impression on our team. Following his successful placement, we’re thrilled to offer him an apprenticeship in partnership with Fife College. This program will combine academic learning with on-the-job training, setting him up for a successful career in the construction sector.


Supporting Talent and Social Responsibility
At Kilmac, we’re all about inspiring the next generation and giving them opportunities to explore their potential. Coen’s journey is a perfect example of how meaningful placements can benefit both individuals and the industry. By investing in young talent, we’re not just helping them grow—we’re also building a more innovative and dynamic sector.


What They’re Saying
Coen:
"This placement has been an incredible experience. I’ve learned so much about how technology and construction work together, and I’m excited to continue my journey with Kilmac through the apprenticeship program."

Kilmac Representative:
"We’re delighted to see young talent like Coen thrive. His enthusiasm and drive are inspiring, and we’re proud to support him as he starts his career."
