Charles Pentney – Construction Management

Charles Pentney: So, I chose construction management basically because it offers great job prospects, offers a good balance between working in the office and on-site and is such a dynamic environment, it’s ever-changing and I'm really excited by the future of the industry. 

So, I chose RMIT basic because it's such a highly regarded University within Australia, the tutors have a wealth of knowledge and they're very practical, so, what they teach you is very relevant for when you get that final degree. 

So, at the moment I'm working as an undergrad building coordinator for Cockram Construction currently placed at Parliament House, which is a quite a complex project but I think that by the end of the project it’s putting me in good stead for further career development. 

I'll highly recommend the course to anyone. The facilities here at RMIT are fantastic and they offer great pathways to outside the classroom as well to pursue a career in construction management.
