Overview of Role

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

The day start from 9-5 and you have tasks assigned to you by your line manager. The team that you are working with sit around each other and in my case it was the Civil team. They are a diverse team and were very approachable when help is needed. There are a couple of tea breaks and an hours lunch break. There are constant tasks to always keep you busy.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was always given serious tasks of projects that were actually happening and this was so interesting because I had to work with deadlines.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
