Mollie Gallagher - MEP Quantity Surveyor at Evaluation Consultants Ltd
At just 26, Molly Gallagher is making waves as a Quantity Surveyor in mechanical & electrical services — despite starting with no construction subjects at school and living with dyslexia.
In her chat with Faith Abudu, she breaks down the differences between contracting and consultancy QS roles, and why consultancy gave her access to niche sectors she loves.
But the industry still has a long way to go: from 14% to just 18% female representation in over 15 years. Molly calls for better visibility, inclusive marketing, and smarter social media to attract more diverse talent into construction.
