Advanced Level Civil engineer Review

I am a civil engineer in the HTS division, so I develop all sorts of aspects of the road. I am currently working on HS2 developing the drawings, so I spend a lot of my day producing drawings in Openroads (CAD) and a lot of time creating models also spend time having meetings with other drafters or modellers to collaborate on ideas.

. I feel confident in my ability to analyse and interpret complex engineering situations independently., I have grown more confident and resilient, with a mindset of embracing new tasks and learning from my mistakes whilst asking relevant questions to develop my knowledge. I have discovered that with exemplary commitment, I can overcome any obstacle. With the help of my senior and more experienced colleagues, I can succeed in any task using the skills I have developed to approach more complex tasks.

I could not enjoy it more. I love the work that I do by being capable of putting in my headphones and working independently through my tasks throughout the day. That joy brings great enjoyment and fulfilment into my day. This, mixed with great relationships with my colleagues throughout the office, always means there are great conversations in my day. My senior colleagues believe in me, so they always also allow me to take on different tasks, which I really appreciate.

My programme is very well organised and structured. I have so many staff there to support me. My line manager, Buddy and Mentor, so all aspects of my programme are supported by someone else. I know the exact career progression in my future that I get to lead and how this works with my schooling is as brilliant as a support role.

I receive lots of support from people who are assigned roles My line manager, Buddy and Mentor; my Line manager ensures my workload is correct and my progression as an employee. My Buddy ensures I am integrating properly and is there to support me with non-work related things, and my Mentor is there to guide me through my apprenticeship.

My training provider is perfect. I receive lots of support on my day release learning new things in an exciting environment. Even on days when I am not with my training provider, I can message them and always receive well throughout and quick responses to answer any queries I have. They also support me with my development as an apprentice, helping a lot with my progression to EPA.

My qualification helps significantly as I am always able to relate things learnt in the classroom to things I do in my day-to-day job. The most important so far has been the health and safety and the management as all this was related to my job role and being new helped me gain a big understanding of my company an how safety is incorporated into my role.

Yes, there are plenty. I play in the five aside football with my company. I have done the Christmas party and soon the summer party. I have gone to the theatre performances that have been hosted by employees. There is going to be a company UK wide sports day in July which I will be attending. I also attend the monthly work drinks.

Yes

I feel like Mott Macdonald is perfect. I have never had a bad experience, and things are so well structured it's almost like things can't go wrong. It is also perfect for apprentices as it has so many opportunities. Being new to most things you can truly grow in any way you want so the outcome possibilities are limitless due to how many skills you have available to learn.

Show you are ambitious, which Mott MacDonald loves, but it opens so many more opportunists, almost like a domino effect. The earlier you can get the domino moving, the better to prove you want this role because it's a choice rather than a last resort. If you are passionate about it, the better it will be, so show confidence. Apply because you have wanted this role for a long time; make it a goal to get this role and work for it with passion and ambition.
