Apprentice Project Manager Review

I am currently working on two different projects. One in the handover phase and one starting early works. On a day to day basis i walk around site to collate photos and site activities / progress for reporting. i put together schedules and change requests forms as well as keeping a number of documents up to date. I also go on weekly site inspections in preparation for handover to client. On the project that is starting early works, it is mainly constructing new documents which are then past on to the client for review (e.g. Security reports, reprovision documents, Project Briefs etc.)

Yes, i have developed many skills and developed not only my knowledge, but as a person. the experience has helped with my confidence and people management, through day to day exposure to contractor management. Mace open many opportunities through webinars held by the hierarchy on a variety of subjects such as sustainability and net zero carbon. Mace have also brought external companies in to give presentations helping widen our knowledge. Communication and team work are two other skills that i have made large improvements in.

I enjoy showing up to work each day, the team create a friendly an enjoyable environment. They are understanding and always willing to answer questions or give an explanation. The team environment has helped me grow in confidence and progressed my development.

My programme is very organised. There is a st day for University. There are a number of webinars / presentation that are scheduled yearly so we are aware of the annual calander in advanced. For the Chartership we are given an interactive portfolio that keeps track of our competencies and university grades. It is easy to contact the Emerging talent staff, and they always have time to pick up the phone or go for a chat, going above and beyond to make our experience more enjoyable.

We receive as much support as we need. I am checked up on regular to insure everything is going okay in the work place and at Uni. Constantly looking to improve the programme in any way they can to make sure we get the most we possible can out of the apprenticeship.

I receive as much support as i require, there is the perfect balance of independence and guidance. The mace staff and Emerging talent team are always willing to go the extra mile e.g. my line manager will go over my Uni assignment to make sure it makes sense and where i can improve.

My qualification helps with regards to technically work and understanding the work other people around me do such as QS's and contractors. it depends on what i am learning at uni to whether or not it helps me in my day to day work. I have managed to put certain theory into practice in my day to day job, such as building regulations and planning.

Yes, work offer a number of groups to get involved in. They also offer coms sessions which help you to reach out and engage with people from all over the business. Individually teams set up group activities or meals, to help with team bonding.

Yes

Because everyone who works for them is always willing to go the extra mile to share their knowledge or answer any questions, no matter their position in the company.

When applying demonstrate how well you can work in a team environment. Confidence is key in any work environment especially when you are trying to develop your knowledge of the industry.
