Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My day-to-day role involves me carrying out pre-pour concrete inspections, leading the weekly quality meeting, tracking progress on site and closing out NCR's.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The programme is tough, and since going into 3rd year at University (of 5), I have found it harder to balance work, studying and down-time, but in general I love the programme and am very grateful to be on it.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Particularly since working on 40 Leadenhall Street, I have been exposed to the different stages of Construction from piling, to a concrete basement to a steel structure. I have noticed a massive improvement in my development over the last year.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme is well structured. As the years go on, there are fewer internal training sessions which is good because we're more involved in our day-to-day roles on site.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My employer is aware of the work load given to us from University.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
It's been a particularly difficult year re-covid therefore all our training has been virtual. Naturally it means it's been harder, however UEL have always answered any issues promptly.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
IT does help me perform better, and gives me confidence on site however my day-to-day role doesn't really allow me to use what I've learnt at University.
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
Mace have tried their best with hosting virtual networking events, but naturally with covid, a lot of extra curricular activities have not happened this year.
