Site engineer Review

I am a Site Engineer, day to day I will take a drawing and set it out, i organise what people are to do that day and plan ahead with my Site Manager what is to be done that week. We have a morning briefing everyday where we discuss what the plan ahead. I also do some paperwork day to day so we can tell the client about our progress.

I have learnt many skills through JN Bentley, I have learnt how to manage a team, advance my knowledge, become more confident and in general become a better all rounded person. I am a lot more organised now as well, I always plan ahead and I've become a lot better at problem solving.

I really enjoy learning new things and I have a large amount of people around me who help and what to see me succeed. I have gained a lot if new friends at Bentley's and we all help eachother when we need it. We're all in the same boat so we can all help each other out.

JN Bentley have looked into different organisations in which we do our courses and find the one best suited not only to them, but take the individual into account. We get sent on extra courses too which helps us broaden our knowledge and you also get to know the other engineers and workers which creates relationships, I frequently go to these people for help when I am not sure how to do something.

We get regular reviews and have assigned people on our set to make sure we are coping well with the course and how they can help, I got assigned to my site manager when i stared 1 1/2 years ago and he has helped me massively to become a good engineer and a manager.

The training provider did lack in some organisational skills at the beginning but eventually the whole course came together, they worked really hard with the help of Bentley's to get us all back on track and we all completed the course passing. We also got to develop on other skills like public speaking.

I learnt a lot of new things within the construction industry and it helped me realise that this is what i want to do. They don't just focus on what sector your company is in they develop your knowledge on everything you could possibly come across as a civil engineer.

We get the chance to go on multiple training courses, JN Bentley's take our development very seriously and give us the best opportunity to learn. There are sports days and other activities that JNB/ MMB organise as well as christmas parties. We also have engineering meetings which sometimes come with a task led by one of the engineers to share knowledge which helps us apprentices.

Yes

They really do care about you as an individual and want you to succeed. They pair you with someone with lots of experience in the industry that can teach you a lot of new things and ways of completing a task. There's so much opportunity at JNB to do well.

Be yourself, don't be afraid to voice your concerns. They want you to do well too. Ask as many questions as you can. You are not stuck on a single path at JN Bentley so don't hold back this is a great opportunity. Don't hold back. Be confident. Don't stress.
