Apprentice Engineer Review

I work with designers so my role would be to assist wherever I can in current projects and making taking on individual tasks that relate to design.

My computing skills have developed along with my communication skills. I have a much better understanding of my area of work since joining Arcadis.

I really enjoy the idea of gaining work experience as well as completing my degree. I feel this will give me a head start in the industry and will be able to make a larger impact on projects much faster

The structure of the programme is well organised but I need to make sure my own time is organised around this. Working in the office and on day release for university work can be very challenging if your time is not managed properly

My line manager is always willing to make the time for me and my questions, all colleagues in my team are also really helpful and have all taken me under their wing.

Support is available from the training providers although I find it difficult to engage online as i find in person much easier.

In first year there is subtle hints of the degree picking up in the workplace and I presume for the degree to be more relevant to my job role as I progress.

i am a member of the PWI which is an organisation outside of work that i can attend section meetings to learn more about my area of work.

Yes

Good career prospects and a healthy working environment

Try to make yourself as available as you can to take on work. Also be keen to learn about why you're doing what you're doing as this helps your further understanding of your area of work.
