Project Assistant Review

I work closely linked to projects, helping them progress this can involve regular contact with the client, responding to emails, being involved in meeting and drafting contracts. I also work very closely to my team having regular catch ups with my colleagues and my line manager

I have learnt a variety of new skills including communication skills, excel and scheduling/time management. I have also improved my skills in presentation, confidence and coordination.

My university course is construction management, which includes lots of different modules including law, management, economics, digital technology and construction site management. I find it more enjoyable that I know there's a variety of information in each module.

Very well structured, at the start of our apprenticeship we were given all of our modules at university and the first years worth of training dates, which enabled us to book annual leave around these.

I have weekly catch ups with my line manager in which I feel comfortable to bring up any concerns or problems I may be facing in both my professional and personal life. The culture of supporting your colleagues and your team is also very prevalent.

There's a variety of support to receive from 1-1's with lecturers or having an academic support tutor, everyone also has an AOO (Apprenticeship Outcomes Officer) who you meet with quarterly to check on your progression throughout the degree and to highlight any areas that may need more work

My qualifications and work are extremely interlinked, for example we learnt about the different types of contract at university and I deal with different construction contracts frequently.

I have been to multiple professional networking events, including a construction ball. There is a football team and we often have well being walks spread through out the month!

Yes

As I feel MACE is a very inclusive company which values its staff, they also care about your career development through out your apprenticeship and frequently give you more responsibilities whilst checking in to see how you are coping with your workload.

Have the confidence to ask questions about the role and your daily responsibilities/activities as it varies for everyone
