Jonny Starmer, Surveyor Started at Miller: 2005

After a brief career in motor sports, spending the off-months working in the construction industry, I decided to study Building Surveying at Kingston University.

I became interested in Miller through the redevelopment of Southwater Village close to my home. I searched the website, saw there were graduate opportunities, and joined the two year graduate scheme.

I was soon given plenty of responsibility on a £16 m office development where I acted as Site Manager with the support of senior colleagues. I was exposed to the different elements within the construction process, from bid team to commercial to design management and finally site management.

I have gained invaluable experience on a range of projects, from office and mixed use developments to retail fit-outs and refurbishments. Miller has been very supportive, especially when I switched from an operational to a commercial career path.

Miller encourages professional membership so I recently became a member of the Chartered Institute of Building and hope to sit the RICS APC. I feel very fulfilled working for Miller in a challenging and simulating environment.
