Lucyna Sibiga Interview – International Woman’s Day
1. What made you want to work in construction? I have always wanted a job where I can earn a good living and get a great sense of fulfillment at the end of the day. I feel construction is the perfect place for this. Working in construction through my apprenticeship with CJK, I see it as a great opportunity to gain so many useful and practical skills that also come in very handy in real life too! 2. Why did you decide to become an Electrician? I find the electrical trade to be the most interesting and challenging. The topic itself is so vast and evolving that I’ll never be bored! When I finish my apprenticeship with CJK and become an Electrician, there are a lot of different career paths I can take so I think it’s really worth it. 3. Why did you choose CJK? I found out about CJK through the recommendation of a good friend who worked there. When I started as an Accounts Assistant in 2019, I saw for myself how CJK stays true to their values. It truly is a happy working environment full of integrity which is not a common thing! When I decided I wanted to become an Electrician they took a great leap of faith in me and have supported me all the way. 4. What is your proudest achievement in CJK? I‘m really glad I’ve switched positions. It was a difficult and risky decision for me to decide to become an apprentice, but I feel it was the right one! 5. What obstacles do you feel you have to come up against as a woman in construction? Construction is a male dominated industry so being a woman on site can still be seen as a bit of an oddity by some. I think the process of integrating more women into the construction industry so that it’s the norm can be difficult at times. Thankfully, I feel like it’s an industry in transition, and it’s no longer just for men. Despite these barriers and with the support of CJK, I know that my ability to learn and do a good job on site is in no way higher or lesser just because I’m a girl. 6. In your opinion, why is it important that more women work in construction? I strongly believe that everyone has a different set of skills, interests, and potentials, regardless of their gender. If more women worked in construction, I feel it would change the perception of women in the industry and show that our career choice should not be dictated by our gender.

CJK are delighted to be involved in STEPS Engineers Week 2021. This week is about educating and inspiring the next generation of engineers and that’s exactly what we plan to do!
👷♂️ Our Electrical Engineer William O'Brien will be paying a digital visit to Ratoath College Transition Year Students where he will give them an insight into everything engineering! He will discuss what it’s like to work in CJK, what projects he’s worked on and help them identify if a career in engineering is for them. It might be the hardest day he’s had in the office yet! #STEPSEngineersWeek #CJK We are so proud of our staff!
Our very own Paul Carberry is raising funds for 🏃♂️ He will be running 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours (yes, you read that right!) starting this Friday, March 5th. Proudly sponsored by CJK, Paul is doing this unbelievable feat of endurance for the following reasons: "The reason I'm doing this is two fold. Firstly, I'm dong this to maintain a healthy marriage and mental health as due to my boredom during lockdown my poor wife has now become the subject of my “banter” instead of my friends in the pub! Secondly, Our Lady's Hospice is very close to my heart. My grandad passed away in the hospice and my Nanny has availed of their services over the years (she's still going strong at 92!). My uncle, who I played golf with every weekend, sadly passed away last year, was supposed to go there after St. James for palliative care but unfortunately he passed away before he could make it." If you would like to support Paul please click the link: https://bit.ly/2NS4coo. We wish him the best of luck! #CJK #Charity #Mentalhealth An early morning airside picture snapped by the CJK Team at Dublin Airport DUB this week. 🌅
