Over the years, Ewa has managed to progress through the ranks on her contract and has recently become our new Deputy Contract Manager (DCM) for Greater Anglia. She is a great example of how important upskilling our employees can be as well as continued team loyalty. We spoke to Ewa about her journey here at Carlisle Support Services since joining back in July 2015.
What roles have you held since joining Carlisle?
I started on the Greater Anglia (GA) contract as a member of the periodic team. We would go out on the network and complete specific projects per period such as high-level cleaning, pressure washing and more. After a lot of hard work, I was promoted to Team Leader in 2016, then again in December 2017 to the East Line Supervisor before ultimately moving into my current role as DCM.
How do you find working for Carlisle?
It has been an extremely positive experience with reliable and consistent support from our management. There are clear opportunities for career progression, allowing for personal and professional growth. Alongside this, the collaborative environment also makes it enjoyable to come to work every day.
What do you enjoy most about your role and the contract you work on?
The opportunity to tackle diverse challenges every day. Our contract with GA fosters a strong sense of teamwork, allowing us to achieve our goals together. Additionally, the impact of our work on the community motivates me to give my best effort. I’m grateful for the opportunities Carlisle has provided me with and look forward to further growth within the company.
What would you recommend to other Carlisle staff members who are also looking to progress?
I’d suggest focusing on continuous learning and taking advantage of training opportunities. Find a mentor among your more experienced colleagues and don’t hesitate to take on new responsibilities to show what you can do.
Setting clear career goals and sharing your ambitions with your supervisors can really help too. Staying positive and resilient during tough times is key but remember that hard work and not giving up are what matter in reaching your goals.
How do you spend your free time?
I enjoy exploring new hiking trails and discovering nature as being outdoors helps me recharge and find inspiration. I also love trying out new recipes in the kitchen.
Most of all, I love spending time with my Yorkshire Terrier, taking her for walks and playing together. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy life!
