1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My day to day basis consists of being the best version of my self for the team every day. I give inputs and opinions and help out with work when needed. Being part of a project in real time is always rewarding because you can see your work in the final product.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes, I’ve learned alot about the drainage sector for HS2. I didn’t realise it required such articulate planning. I’ve learned how to use computer design softwares and systems all while learning about the project I’m on.
