Supervisor For Contracting Review

CURRENTLY AFTER I HAVE PASSED MY APPRENTICESHIP - Look at jobs prior to them starting - organise plant, labour & materials needed for job - set up a job pack for jobs which includes permits, daily briefing & risk assessments - deliver daily briefings and ensure that everything is going ok on site - make sure permits and necessary paperwork is being completed - mark up jobs with tonnage markers , chainages and other information needed for the day - complete diary sheets which records what was used on each job and what we have done - talk about improving work after sites have finished so we can improve - ensure each site is being completed to the necessary standard - Worked on a variety of projects including working in Devon on a term maintenance contract, and working for Griffiths helping to construct a new road - mainly act as the bridge between supervisor and contract manager

I have a level 3 btec and nvq equivalent certifcate, I have completed many training courses within work such as a defensive driving course to ensure I / everyone gets to and from work ok, Also cat and genny courses to make sure i can locate underground services as well as this I have my CSCS card to allow me to work on site and i constantly have to pass other employers inductions etc Learning in the field offers a chance AND forces you to improve different skills such as communication, working as a team and organisation

I enjoyed the programme as it was a mix of learning on site as well as learning as learning at college, it allowed you to see different aspects of the work place and the support allowed you to gradually progress. I enjoyed it as it rewarded your hard work with different work opportunities and it had patience and belief in your progression

My apprenticeship was organised and the programme from college ensured that everything my employer was doing was well programmed , i was given a mentor to oversee my progression and also objectives by line manager to ensure i kept progressing. my training and on site experience felt like it all progressed naturally

I received as much or as little support as I wanted from my employer, they was always on hand to help guide me , but also acknowledged times where they would let me try and solve problems by myself to help me develop. they had a good attitude towards me and recognized me as an equal part of the team and supported my decisions

I received loads of support from my training provider , they would answer emails on weekend etc and would always talk to anyone after class if there was any problems. They recognized everyone as an individual and helped guide or tried to forsee any issue you might have. As said advise was there whenever needed

Probably on an sub conscience level ! but it has helped loads i.e constantly managing time to work within deadlines, working with other people to get results, asking for advise and receiving advise. it also gave me a great broad understanding of the industry allowing me understand alot of the reasons behind alot of things.

to be honest, there is but I dont really get involved with things like that just because im busy enough , and got enough going on in the week to have to time for it .. but i have attended overnight stays at Centre Parcs & alton towers as part of the apprenticeship programme. And also they have a notice board etc up in work where they do charity football games etc

Yes

I would recommend tarmac to a friend as they are a good employer because they treat everyone as an individual and connect with people on a personal level, the pay is good, the work is usually interesting, the company seems to be in a good position in terms of staying power and also because they appreciate and are welcoming to younger employees

the application process is quite lengthy so bare that in mind, try and be yourself as much as possible during the application process, if you get the job dont be afraid to make mistakes and dont be afraid to ask for advise. They are very supportive so if there is anything you want to do to help yourself improve i'm sure they would accommodate
