Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am an apprentice site manager supporting my senior managers in monitoring and supervising subcontractors work and the overall progress of a project.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I am very much enjoying my programme and looking forward to completing it this year to move onto the next step in my career.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes through working with experienced and knowledgable people in the industry I have learnt how to approach different issues that arise in the work place and how to manage and complete my own tasks and responsibilities.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Overall it is good, however, it is still unclear what the natural progression is for me as I finish my programme this year and awaiting confirmation of what I will be placed onto next if at all.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I receive a lot of support off my line manager and colleagues and off the college I attend. I am still unclear on whether they'll support me on what I want to do next in my education.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
During COVID, the college has struggled with its structure but have always supported me as a student and have adapted for my benefit.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
The qualification supports me in my overall knowledge of the industry but for my role day to day this is learnt through experience.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes there were but due to COVID these have been stopped until they are opened up again.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend John Sisk and Son Ltd to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Overall my line manager, colleagues and teachers have been supportive of my progress and helped me through any issues I have had. I just want more clarity of HR for my next stepping stone after I complete my programme this year.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to John Sisk and Son Ltd?
If there is an oppotunity apply for the role to gain invaluable experience in the industry and a foot in the door for your career.
