Our People

Our business never stands still. There's always a new contract to win or a new innovation to embed and sometimes even a new business to bring into the fold. This requires a flexible and agile work ethic with a willingness to embrace continuous change. It certainly keeps everyone busy, engaged and excited about what the future holds for the business and their own career.


Charlotte, Learning and Development Administrator, Shared Services - Horsham

How would you describe yourself in three words:

Observant, teamplayer, reliable.

Tell us about your career. What choices have you made to get where you are today?

When I was still in school I worked in my local pub as a waitress and then also picked up a part-time cleaning job alongside this while I was in college. It was partly this experience managing to work two jobs whilst completing my A-Levels that helped me get through my Business Administration Apprenticeship.

What attracted me was the emphasis on developing foundations and key skills for a career. It definitely has as I was offered a full-time role as a Learning and Development Administrator, and I’m still developing and progressing.

To date, what are your career success stories or high-points and why?

My high point so far has been achieving my apprenticeship and getting a full-time job within the Learning and Development department. I have also worked on rewarding projects within my team such as PeopleBot and arranging induction weeks such as EST (Eurovia Specialist Treatments) and Apprentice Inductions for Highways Maintenance apprentices.

I find this rewarding as there are many logistical challenges to overcome and different providers to deal with/coordinate.

Do you have plans…what are your ‘next job’ goals?

I want to continue in my Learning and Development Administrator role to gain more experience and get involved in more projects. But eventually, I’d like to develop a career within Learning and Development. I feel like this is a rewarding job as we get to help upskill employees so they can develop their careers.

What career advice would you give to someone just joining the business?

An apprenticeship is a good way to join the business if you don’t have experience, as it gives you the basic skills you need and Eurovia/Ringway want to keep our apprentices and continue to develop them. There are also many training courses and opportunities available for anyone coming into the company and for existing employees as well, with many shorter-term courses as well as apprenticeships.

What’s the best thing about working for Eurovia/Ringway?

Feeling like a part of the team – we are regularly referred to as a family and it does feel that way. The safety of employees is a massive focus and the company also wants their employees to progress in their career.


Prathap, ICT Application Engineer, Shared Services - Horsham

How would you describe yourself in three words:

Persistent, innovative, passionate.

Tell us about your career. What choices have you made to get where you are today?

In my earliest jobs I worked on a contract basis. First, it was for Motorola Corporation, producing technical documents for various clients such as London Underground, Network Rail and the Metropolitan Police.

It was whilst working as Document Controller that I became passionate about IT. Hence, I pursued my Masters in Mobile Computing and Communications. Once I had landed my next job – as a Network Administrator for an IT company – I explored other opportunities and discovered SAP, the enterprise software for managing business operations and processes.

In 2011 I took on my first role focussed on SAP – providing in-house systems administration support. Later, I moved on to Accenture, the international management consultancy, where over four years I provided application support for various SAP modules for public sector clients.

My passion and my curiosity for that platform led me to learn new skills in SAP. Ever since I continued enhancing my skills in this and other technologies.

It was in August 2016 that I joined Eurovia UK as SAP Applications Support Engineer, again providing specialist support to users, and also acting as a subject matter expert for all KHEOPS and third-party application issues.

To date, what are your career success stories or high-points and why?

The most rewarding part for me in any job is when my ideas and opinion are valued as a way of improving how we work. Some of my ideas have resulted in better ways to process KHEOPS access requests and the adoption of a new mobile-friendly expense claims system.

Do you have plans…what are your ‘next job’ goals?

Before I move to another job, I want to explore what various roles would entail. Some of the roles that I’m interested in are Business Analyst, Project Manager, and Solution Architect.

What career advice would you give to someone just joining the business?

There’s a variety of career paths available. You can enhance your skills to be a professional in any domain of your choice very easily if you have passion and commitment.

What’s the best thing about working for Eurovia/Ringway?

The way that staff and colleagues are encouraging. Any suggested innovations are scrutinised and valued.


Wolfram, ICT Infrastructure Manager, Shared Services - Horsham

How would you describe yourself in three words:

Open, motivated, honest.

Tell us about your career. What choices have you made to get where you are today?

After school, I went to university and gained a degree majoring in Management and Psychology. I first got into IT as a means of earning better money while travelling and saving up for more travelling. But it also meant I had savings to pay for MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) courses, which was a brand new qualification at the time and very sought after.

After qualifying, I started out in a role testing applications and integration for a consultancy. Over time I became a very technical resource working in banking and retail organisations.

I slowly moved into management after taking on a team lead role, which expanded in scope. Eventually, I ended up as an Infrastructure Manager and subsequently held several similar roles.

I joined Eurovia in January 2016. I had just moved back to the UK after living in South Africa for nine years. I liked the idea of working in the construction industry for a large global player as I had previously worked in banking and retail environments.

Horsham’s also relatively local to where I live, which is an added bonus.

To date, what are your career success stories or high-points and why?

It’s been a really interesting journey, and what has been particularly enjoyable is doing IT roles in various business sectors. The ICT is similar, but the environments are very different, with lots of variations between banking, retail, rail and construction.

We have an amazing team that work well together and really support each other. We have brought stability and reliability to the ICT environment and a more human element to our interactions with our users.

Do you have plans…what are your ‘next job’ goals?

I would like to go on to the next challenge in ICT management, so probably an ICT Director role. It comes with different challenges and requires a more financial, strategic and future-focussed approach.

What career advice would you give to someone just joining the business?

Get outside your comfort zone – it’s where you learn the most. Work hard, work smart and be a “can do” person: opportunities will come up.

What’s the best thing about working for Eurovia/Ringway?

Definitely the people. A diverse group of individuals that collectively make a great team.
