Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Day to day, I would work alongside members of the team gaining an insight into the projects they were working on and having a go at any jobs related to these projects. This included planning appraisals, site appraisals and more.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very interesting to get an insight into other parts of the business other than the team I was based in through the departmental overviews on zoom. It opened my eyes to the range of opportunities available within the company as well as the range of disciplines the company itself is involved in.
