Civil engineer apprentice Review

On a day to day basis I monitor rig progress, produce as builts surveys and process, carry out site inspections and fill out paperwork, diary entries. I also set out when needed, ensure everyone has signed in and is wearing correct Personal protective equipment, receive orders and complete outstanding college work.

As mentioned previously, my programme is well structured allowing us to have plenty of time to complete all assigned work needed to complete during college block and we get help from our lectures any time we need. Leeds college of Building is very understanding. When we are assigned work to complete during placement, we are given plenty of time as we are working.

College wise, my employers visit us on a regular basis, they ask us how we are doing, if we have any concerns regarding our lectures and if we’re keeping on top of our work. Placement wise, I have a line manager that I report to in my division, but I also have a mentor from site and my line manager from college

As previously mentioned, I received a lot of help from my training provider, I have a head of year and a mentor which helps me with my endpoint assessment at the end of my apprenticeship. Even if I can’t physically attend a lecture, all lessons are recorded so I can catch up.

I believe that my qualifications make me competent to fulfil most of my duties on site, as most things I learn in college I use on site and my qualifications allow me to know the reason behind what I do rather than just doing something for the sake of it.

Bam was my first choice apprenticeship, they offer very good benefits, such as wellbeing days, provide support for personal development and take care of most of your expenses, ensuring that everything has been taken care of so you don’t have to spend money to work. Bam also have a innovative way of thinking.
