Olivia Yeoman studied to be a beauty therapist before deciding she wanted to spend a bit more time outside.
The 20-year-old, who is now four months into her carpentry apprenticeship, said the change from the female-dominated industry to being the only woman on-site was "a bit of culture shock", but that her new colleagues had supported her through the good and bad days.
"I can see how it could be quite confronting and don't get me wrong, there's up and downs every day, but the boys that I work with are super good," she said.
