Junior Project Manager Review

Assisting Senior Project Managers with their role which includes risk management, writing meeting minutes, stakeholder engagement, creating trackers, writing processes.

Yes I have learnt how to manage a project, including several different project management techniques which I am combining to create my own style of project management. I am also learning different construction techniques that will help when managing construction projects.

I really enjoy how much I have learnt during my apprenticeship and that I can apply this on a day to day basis. I work with some great people who are always willing to help me learn and improve my skills.

The university and workplace have very little communication to ensure that the both align, so often the two are not fully related.

I get a lot of support from my employer, especially during the end of term when exams are and assignments are due. I often get my colleagues to read through assignments as well and provide advice to help me improve.

My training provider does not provide me with enough support during lecture but they do offer other support if required although I have not needed to use this support.

The qualification gives me a fairly good understanding of the theory behind some aspects of my role in a more generic sense which I am starting to be able to apply to my role on a day to day basis.

I am part of the office social committee so I often get involved in organising themed social evenings in the office, an externally located summer party for families and also the Christmas party.

Yes

Arcadis is a great place to work and creates a culture where everyone is able to flourish and learn. They allow you to work on some interesting projects that give you a great range of experience especially as an apprentice.

Make sure to read up on the values of the company and make sure these align with your own values because all the work we deliver has a heavy focus on this.
