Project Controls Apprentice of the Year – Stefanie Bragg
Costain’s Stefanie Bragg was named UK Project Controls Apprentice of the Year in recognition of her exceptional contributions and rapid professional development within the project controls sector. Stefanie has demonstrated a remarkable commitment to her role, bringing both technical skills and a proactive approach to her work. “Being named Project Controls Apprentice of the Year is a true honour,” said Stefanie Bragg. “Transitioning from forensic science into project controls was a significant step, and this recognition reflects the invaluable guidance, trust, and support I’ve received from the Costain Advisory team. My colleagues, clients, and mentors have made Costain an inspiring place to grow, and I’m excited to contribute to our ongoing success and to support the next generation of apprentices”.
