Civil Engineer Apprentice Review

The project I am currently working on is the Transpire rail project so is mostly in the pre construction phase. At the moment my team is surveying the track so my duties include preparing the equipment for the day, using total stations, installing targets on track etc.

I would say the skills I developed the most is adaptability and focus as this role requires a level of concentration to ensure the surveys are accurate.

I enjoy the programme as you get to learn while gaining valuable on the job experience. Day to day onsite I enjoy it because every day is different as an engineer.

The programme is well organised as both the apprenticeship managers and line managers keep you up to date to what is required and are always there if you need any support.

I believe we receive good support as they are always there when you need to get hold of then or have any questions.

We receive good support when in college as our lecturers always go above and beyond to helping us with any issues, even outside the mandatory college hours.

The qualification does provide the basic foundation knowledge for the construction industry as a whole. However, on site each project is different and varies so it may not be applicable to the same degree as it is to other projects.

Yes there multiple sporting activities when in college and there is networking event to attend.

Yes

I would recommend this apprenticeship as it is an excellent opportunity to start a career in an exciting industry and you will receive all the support you will need.

I would advise to research the role thoroughly to understand what's the Jon entails on a daily basis, to research bam as a company and maybe look at what projects you would like to work on in the future.
