Placement (10 Months+)
Civil Engineering
What do you do at Arcadis?
Placement student working in the water team.
Why do you love working at Arcadis?
A company this size provides an opportunity to work with a large amount of people of multiple disciplines. Their contact is one click away. This makes the personal experience so much more fulfilling, you are one click away from asking a question to whomever you want.
Can you describe a ‘typical day’ in your role?
Talk with colleagues and aid in any help the project needs. Personal study of engineering manuals which can aid in the project or future projects. I have mostly been aiding in CAD design and 3D modelling.
What tips would you give to someone who is applying to Arcadis?
Arcadis gives you TOTAL freedom. The responsibility is all on you. This sounds very attractive but at the same time is incredibly easy to land on the wrong line. The opportunity for maturity Arcadis offered me was beyond imaginable at the time. You are responsible to find the work "for yourself". You have to move your way through people and construct your "network" of colleagues which will aid you in your development in the experience.
