A team of construction industry students from Galway’s Atlantic Technological University (ATU) has won CIOB’s Tomorrow’s Leaders Challenge.

The Galway team, comprising Liam McDonagh, Kenneth Hynes, Kara Earle and Simon O’Grady, fought off competition from four other teams at the event in November in Limerick.

Second place was awarded to a team from ATU Donegal and third place went to the competition’s first ever all-female team, who were from ATU Sligo.

The challenge required teams to develop a bid submission for a design-and-build scheme of four industrial units on a greenfield site. Submissions had to include a layout, a risk register, a master programme for the construction phase and a cost schedule. Teams had four hours to complete the task, after which they had to submit a report, present their project to a panel of judges and respond to questions.

The head judge was Derek Cassidy FCIOB, chair of CIOB’s ROI Hub. He said: “Improving quality and access to education and skills is crucial for ensuring a sufficient pipeline of educated, qualified and professional workers who are passionate about working in Ireland’s built environment. At CIOB we’re committed to playing our part in developing tomorrow’s leaders and hope this latest event has inspired many of them.”
