Commercial Assistant Review

on a day to day basis I usally work on cost plans, monthly cost reports, benchmarking projects against each other and updating benchmarking documents. updating my portfolio and diary on a daily basis to ensure I am up to date with my competencies and to keep a track of what I do day to day.

over my last few years at mace I have learned a variety of skills that I can carry forward with me into my future career such as, a variety of construction terminology that I did not know previously as well as how to form contracts and various other relevant skills.

overall my experience on my 5 year programme is very much enjoyable. the support from my company is amazing which makes it even easier to talk to my hr when I do have a problem regarding work or university. I can honestly say that the support system is beyond amazing.

I would say that overall the organization of the programme that I am on is very well organized. especially when it comes to in house training and any correspondence between our work and our university. they are also very aware as to when all of our exams are and when any coursework is due.

I would say that overall I receive an enormous amount of support from my employer especially when it comes to times around our exams or when we have any large amounts of coursework due in. this makes it easier to go to work as they understand the pressure that we are under.

I would say that overall we receive less support from our training provider as they tend to forget that we are part time students and aren't always able to get the time off of work to attend extra revisions session, however they do still try their best to make sure we do get revision sessions.

I would say that overall it does help me perform better in my role at work as it gives me the confidence as I feel like this way I have been taught it from a professional body rather than picking information up as I go. it also shows my employer that I am learning from university.

there are extra curricular activities however they do seem to be more orientated to males than females as they are football teams. however this doesn't bother me too much as I wouldn't be able to attend them as I live qute far away from my place of work.

Yes

I believe that the work environment here is unlike any other. the company is always worried about the wellbeing of its employees and like to ensure that they are getting the most out of work but are also enjoying it, as well as ensuring a balance work to home life.

I would say that when applying to mace it is always important to be yourself and to do your research before as this always helps with any interview. also know a bit about maces core values and show how you can aid towards them and potentially help mace hit their targets.
