Engineering Assistant Review

On-Site checking steel reinforcement against drawings. Using a total station to monitor movement/ check precision of works to be carried out. Using CAD for levels of site and using Revit to model the entire ground levels.

I have learnt various new skills including the use of a total station, reading design drawings and the use of software’s such as CAD and Revit.

I enjoy my programme to a good extent. It offers the exact real-world skills I would need to carry out the job I would do if having gone to university full time.

The programme is structured very well-structured offering plenty of training; not just learning about one specific role but learning about the role of others.

I receive good support from my current team (manager).

Support is there only when asked, working towards a university qualification is tricky, there could be a specific course to help with this.

I would say that the training provider keeps my maths and English skills in good shape, and up to date. However, I have found this to be the other way around whereby my role at work helps me with my qualification - this could be subjected to the modules I am currently studying.

A few activities, more or so with volunteering.

Yes

Mace is very competitive and offer a wide range of works and roles. Working on some very interesting projects. As Mace have jobs all around the world, some may not be limited to where they want to work.

Try to get relevant work experience and have good team working skills.
