Derek Curran joined the Kilsaran team in 2014, starting life on the finishing lines of the paving plant. He has since risen through the ranks at Kilsaran with hard work and the support of senior management and his co-workers.

Away from the day job Derek enjoys putting his hands to good use, having recently completed the renovation of his own home. A talented rugby player in his youth, he still has a passion for the sport and enjoys nothing more than watching a good game of rugby as often as he can. We recently caught up with Derek to discuss his experiences at Kilsaran.

What do you enjoy most about your role?

In my role as Site Supervisor, I work across multiple construction projects within Kilsaran as we continue to develop and modernise our plants and processes. My favourite part of the role is seeing a project come to fruition is extremely rewarding. Being part of a project from the inception stage to seeing a building, plant or machine, materialise from drawings is so satisfying. It definitely makes all the hard work and effort worthwhile with the plant life team.

What is it like to work for Kilsaran?

No two days are the same in Kilsaran. There is always something new and innovative happening. In my role, I have the opportunity to work with multiple departments in Kilsaran which allows me to develop and learn through constant collaboration.

As the saying goes, ‘variety is the spice of life’. There is never a dull moment here as you are always facing new challenges and striving for new solutions
