Apprentice Engineer Review

So far my role requires me to make updates to highways As-Built drawings using CAD and making effective use of excel to update schedules according to a redline drawing from the contractor who we work alongside to provide information for the As-Builts.

Pretty much everything I do on a day-to-day basis is a new skill for me I previously had very little experience with excel and virtually none on autoCAD, I now use both of which daily now to complete tasks assigned to me.

My program is extremely enjoyable in comparison to the rigid structure of school or my old jobs, flexible working means I can change my hours so that they suit me better whether that means arriving early or leaving late it means I can do the things I enjoy outside of work without them impeding on the standard of my work or morale

The program is extremely well structured, there is regular goal setting at my work so that I have something to aim for and a marker to check my progress. The university work is well planned out and easy to follow along with

My employer provides plenty support. I feel I can always contact my line manager and we are provided extra study days for exams to help us get on well with our university work.

The university despite being online works extremely well, a majority of the time the lecturers are available via email and some even provide drop in style calls we can join to ask any questions we may have

The university work can definitely be beneficial but so far I haven't come across much application to my job

There are social events relatively regularly across the departments most recently the Christmas dinner which was fun

Yes

Because of my personal experience so far, I get on well with co-workers and feel as though the path I have taken suits me and would suit others

To try and convey time where you have worked as a team and communicated well with others as much as you can
