Meet the Team - Petar Nikiforov

 

"Be brave and inquisitive, embrace challenge, and never stop learning."
 

After joining Beam in 2005 and training in carpentry and joinery, Petar Nikiforov’s career has gone from strength to strength!  Now, a Construction Project Manager and Operational Manager, Petar shares his passion for building and what he loves most about his work:

What first inspired you to pursue a career in construction?
“From an early age, I had a fascination with building things and developed a huge appreciation of craftsmanship, especially carpentry and joinery. Seeing a well-constructed, aesthetically balanced, and thought-out building has always brought me joy and inspiration.”

What aspects of your work do you enjoy most and why?
“I enjoy problem-solving and finding creative, practical solutions. There is also a deep sense of pride that comes from collaborating with clients and understanding their vision for their homes, so we can help them bring this to life.  I like to think of us as weavers; we have lots of different strands coming from all directions that we need to make sense of and weave together to create an order, until there is a beautiful tapestry at the end.”

Describe what you like about working for BEAM?
“Working for Beam is not like working for a big developer; the variety of our projects keeps things interesting and allows for skill development in many areas. I enjoy the interaction with different clients, designers and architects, and working as part of a small team, with enthusiastic people who want to do their work in the best way possible.”

What advice would you give to anyone thinking about a career in construction?
“Be brave and inquisitive, embrace challenge, and never stop learning.”
