  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My role is a civils engineer controller. I work towards scheduling jobs to engineers. This involves vetting jobs and scheduling accordingly. I take calls and work towards getting jobs fluid to reach targets.

  • Again there is lots of support from my apprentice mentor [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions]. She is supportive and understanding. She is always available if I have any query's.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I feel my particular apprenticeship does not relate that much to the role at the moment. My qualification relates to customer service whereas we don't deal with customers face on in my role. Saying this Raylia tries to relate it to my role the best she can.
