  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • On a day-to-day basis I usually assist the site manager, however I would prefer if I had more site experience. I feel like I have very little experience in civil engineering and I am being held back from what I could achieve.

    4/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I have developed basic skills from on site experience but as I approach my second year I feel like I would be expected to do more.

    6/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I enjoy the learning side of my programme. The job is ok however more site experience would make it better.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • I don't have much contact with my line manager and I feel as if, I would enjoy the program more if I got support.

    10/10

    • I take some information from my learning through to working onsite.

    7/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • unsure due to Covid

    5/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend JN Bentley to a friend?

    • No

  • 9b. Why?

    • If the apprenticeship scheme was more structured, I would. As an apprentice I feel as if there is no plan for my development.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to JN Bentley?

    • If you're able to, get an engineer as your mentor instead of a site manager.
