Senior Project Manager Review

Supporting Project Management team dealing with live Solar PV installations for commercial clients, internal change management on processes, roles and responsibilities and recruiting of new operation staff. Assist design, sales, commercial, QHSE and finance departments with best practices and reviewing pipeline on new, existing and previous projects/clients.

Yes, improving leadership capabilities, communications are always improving, driving meetings and mentoring multiple people across the business to support best versions of each other and progressing with good habits. Reviewing personnel and recruiting with new theories via the apprenticeship.

The apprenticeship was great, my learning coach was amazing, there were some areas for improvement on a couple of the workshops, but I passed on my thoughts in hope to improve future education and thank the teaching team.

Well structured, and flexible enough to take into account the day job. Very appreciative of carrying out a 1-2-1 workshop when my annual leave meant I missed a group version.

I was very much self-driven, my line manager changed 4x during my apprenticeship, but those that left the business still supported me when I'd asked. Others had no parts to play generally speaking as my role captured the vast majority of the requirements already.

Regular meetings from personal learning coach, very much enjoyed our catch ups and run through the next steps. In addition, she was super helpful with mental health and had a genuine approach when discussing tough challenges.

The content is brilliant, the support from my learning tutor was outstanding, I just need to put more of it into practice as I grow in my career development.

Mitie have 'teams' to group up with, but it is very corporate. Locally we try to get together every quarter or so, but leadership have let this dwindle in the past year or so. A few groups of us do make the effort to get together though (I organised a leaving do the other month, for example).

No

Generally speaking, very corporate and 'backside covering', if 'friends' wanted to work for a such a business then I would recommend due to the benefits available, but the day-to-day, for me personally, dealing with Mitie employees is very life sapping. - Note, the original Custom Solar people are brilliant though and we keep each other sane.

Expect to be a number, learn and take away as much from the experience as you can, utilise their openness to train and develop for future potential roles.
