Meet our Building Control team

Meet Kay

Kay Wellburn, Building Control Officer

"What I love about my job, is that it is so different every day! You could be working at the coast in the morning, then in the afternoon you could be working all the way up in Weardale. I came into Building Control just after I had my daughter. It was the flexibility of being able to work full time and continue being a mam that appealed to me. As a Building Control Officer people presume it is very much a male-dominated profession, but it isn't! Many engineers and site managers that I work with, are actually women too. In our team, as a Building Control Officer, we have a lot of support around our work, and it is brilliant. I know I can pick up the phone and that support is there!
