Civil Engineering Degree Apprentice Review

I manage and lead construction projects. Reviewing technical document whilst ensuring their alignment with industry standards. Working in teams to deliver minor and major transportation projects.

Developed great interpersonal skills and technical engineering skills. Management of staff and delegation of work activities.

I have fallen in love with my apprenticeship. Every day is a different experience and due to being on 6 month placement rotations you are able to gain a very wide exposure to all parts of the engineering project.

There is no formal structure in terms of the different placements and teams you can work is. This is good and bad as when you start you don't know the type of work you would best get on with. However this can be good as it will get you more experience than you would in other firms. Also other apprentices will assist you with choosing the teams to work in.

Having a placement manager, line manager, and scheme sponsor may sound like a lot however they are all interested in you developing your skills and will dedicate time to you personally for your progression along the scheme.

The university is pretty standard when it comes to delivery of content and examinations. Some processes can be clunky but overall it is workable.

It gives me the basis technical knowledge in order to undertake my job.

There are a load of different social teams, sports teams, quizzing teams and educational teams available.

Yes

They are a fantastic employer with very good employee benefits and always ensure a good work-life balance.

Do a lot of research into the company and see what big projects are on the go and coming up. Make sure to reference the social values that TfL hold and look at the Mayor's strategies for London.
