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

    • Risk Management for the EVRi North area, covering H&S and Facilities management. I manage the UK-wide H&S management system which includes the collection / analysis of data, reporting and development of control measures. Additionally I run the UK-wide ISO certification programme for 9001, 14001 and 45001

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

    • Yes. Even though I am on my 2nd month, I am already gaining familiarity with Python and have gained a great overview of the technologies involved in Data Analytics

    10/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I'm really enjoying the programme, because it is answering questions that I have been asking myself for a long time. Each lesson provides me with more ideas on how to improve our management system and automation tools!

    10/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • Feels well-structured and organized, the curriculum jumps straight into practical programming which ensures that I feel I'm making good progress. The Kate learning environment provides a lot of additional learning support and I also have a course mentor who helps me to keep on track.

    10/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Couldn't ask for more support. My manager has allowed me to allocate a day per week exclusively to the course, and is attending the progress review calls.

    10/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • I have a course mentor who contacts me regularly and is supporting me through the whole process (including attaining the required certifications for maths & english).

    10/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • it's early in the course, but I can already see many areas where I can apply what I'm learning in my day-to-day role. The course material will allow me to develop tools & processes that will lift the performance / effectiveness of our whole team.

    10/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • I understand there are some activities at our Head Office location, but not much going on elsewhere (that I know about)

    6/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend Evri to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • EVRi is a very dynamic and demanding employer, innovation and experimentation is encouraged. If I have an idea I'm given the freedom to try it out and feed back the results to my team so we can make a group decision on adoption. Never a dull moment!

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Evri?

    • Focus on your practical achievements, not your qualifications. Can you demonstrate innovation, strong team participation, good communication, personal action leading to improvements in effectiveness, efficiency or profit?
