Construction Management Assistant Review

Assisting construction managers with tasks relating to the overall build of the project. This includes going out on site and assisting with the daily site diary, documenting the progress of the build. Reinforcement checks using drawings was key in making sure what was being constructed matched what was being planned. Daily walk arounds for a general safety overview and querying anything on the safety software is essential. Inspections and audits are done regularly as well to ensure everything is going as it should. Any findings relating the progress of the project would be addressed in the following meetings for further action.

Yes. Where I knew I could take on more responsibilities, week by week, I was able to assist and take over where possible.

Developed my organizational skills with balancing tasks on site and in meetings. Communication and documentation skills were improved when relaying information, alongside teamwork when addressing issues with others. Attention to detail was incredibly augmented when comparing drawings and highlighting anything to be discussed. Technical skills when it came to using excel and writing meeting minutes were also developed and allowed me to be more concise and succinct with my work. Overall building confidence in my own work was developed throughout the internship as a whole.

As much as I needed. If I needed help with anything, my line manager would be there to answer, always reassuring there was nothing like a 'stupid question'. Members of the SLT and other colleagues would be there to if I queried anything, or if I wanted to learn more about a particular area that I was interested in.

Very comfortable. Everyone seems to get along well and would be up to chat over coffee for whatever reason be.

I really enjoyed my internship as it was my first time working on quite a large project like this. I had the opportunity to develop a wider range of technical and soft skills, outside of university. My confidence has grown in being able to manage tasks and add value to others through the work I was doing. The responsibilities that I was given meant that I would gain the full experience working as an employee for a company which seeks to reach further with its ambitions.

Yes
