Lauren Hill: A Seasoned Expert in Engineering Estimation
Lauren brings 17 years of experience in the engineering and construction industry. Her journey into engineering began unexpectedly during a university gap year while studying law. Starting as an Engineering Assistant at 19, she discovered a passion for the field and worked her way up to Estimating Manager before joining Quantum Controls.
“Quantum Controls is a rapidly expanding business, and I was excited at the thought of joining the team to contribute to its future growth,” said Lauren. She is committed to staying ahead of industry trends, leveraging automation, cost analysis, and historical data to refine tender estimates and improve efficiency. Her expertise in project planning and estimation will be invaluable in driving the company’s continued success.
Jasmine Jones: A Passion for Estimating and Engineering
Jasmine brings nearly seven years of experience in estimating, having started in July 2018 as an entry point into engineering. She quickly developed a passion for the field, appreciating the fastpaced environment and daily challenges that drive continuous learning.
“I initially saw estimating as a way to build commercial awareness alongside technical knowledge, but I found a genuine passion for it. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of projects ranging from major UK infrastructure to smaller, personal installations,” Jasmine shared. “One of the best parts of my job is driving past sites and being able to say, ‘I helped with that.'”
She also emphasises the importance of continuous learning and relationshipbuilding in the field: “Take any and all training opportunities, don’t be afraid to ask questions, and build strong client relationships, these are key to securing new projects and advancing in the industry.”
