New site manager at BAM
BAM Construction Scotland has appointed Lauren Miller as a new site manager.
Ms Miller, who will be based at the company's Edinburgh office, joins after working with Lend Lease in London for 13 years.
She brings a wealth of project management experience to the team in Scotland, having previously worked on major hospital and office projects in and around the Square Mile.
Ms Miller's first job with BAM will be on the landmark £8.5 million Dunfer-mline Museum and Art Gallery (DMAG) project. Designed by Edinburgh-based Richard Murphy Architects, the new building will link the striking facades of two B-listed buildings while adding a state-of-the-art extension incorporating stunning exhibition and gallery space, mezzanine viewing galleries, a café and a bespoke children's library.
Ms Miller said: "It wasn't a difficult decision to come to BAM Scotland once I saw the way they work as a joined-up team in their approach to construction projects and clients. DMAG is a great first job for me and the stylish design and level of quality is equal to anything that I worked on in London".
