Industrial Trainee Review

I worked with a the clients, marketing and communication (CMC) team for the north completing a range of tasks including managing project sheets, bidding and internal CVs. I also have a lot of work based around COP26 which involved interacting with people in the Scotland and Northern Ireland offices. I was also able to complete some work around macroeconomic trends and research their affect on Arup when working wit the economics team.

I was given a lot of responsibility when managing my tasks from the beginning but always had people to ask if I needed help.

I have developed my communication skills significantly both written and verbally as I have been writing up pieces for the company about recent projects for the CMC team. I have also been able to attend team meetings over Microsoft Teams and worked with people across the UK which has allowed me to improve my teamwork sills. I have also been able to progress my digital skills with the training provided.

I receive a lot of support from a wide range of people no matter what work I am completing. Every time I have asked anyone for guidance or advice they have been quick to respond and very helpful. Co-workers will often check in with me to make sure I am okay.

Arup is a very friendly company, my first day in the office I was introduced to loads of people. Everyone I have spoken to has been really helpful nothing is to big of an ask and i have been made to feel very included at all times.

I have really enjoyed my placement with Arup so far, my work has been interesting and varied and everyone I have worked with has been great. I have always had people to go to if I have had any issues or questions, the people are extremely friendly and approachable. I cannot recommend Arup enough.
