CAD Co-ordinator Review

I work as a CAD technician, I work modeling services for buildings on REVIT and CAD software, I work as part of a large team and interact with them on a daily basis as more than one person can be working the same model at each time.

I currently in my 3rd year of uni doing Building Services Engineering, I have done internally H&S courses, Revit, Naviswork courses. I have also attended various course within the programme, for things such as Building my influence and sustainability within the business

I enjoy the programme and think that there is lots of opurtunity within the business. I think within the culture of the business people aren't aware of the programme though.

I think internally for my direct line manger I am appreciated, though within the department I am in the business people interally aren't as appreciative

The programme is fairly organized, with plenty of training modules put in place far in advance and there is someone to contact about these. As for support, within my role I am supported, but within the Cadet programme as the wider business is not fully aware of what is required from it I feel like it lacks support in that area

As I said above when there is training modules we receive a lot of support for these from the training provider. Though within our roles, not much as it would probably be hard for them, to give support as there is such a variety of roles

Generally I feel there is support given when it suits them to give support

I think the salary (especially at the beginning) is very low. Travel can sometimes be reimbursed - but only when working away. For the amount of work that is required from the people on the programme I don't think the salary meets the costs

I think within the business there are, but I ammn't aware of these, ( I don't no whether that is cause I am based in Scotland and the business is not particularly focused in my region)

Yes

I think being able to work whilst getting paid to go to uni is a good opportunity of someone my age

Would give them advice on how the interview is structure and what they are likely to be asked.
