Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

In 2 months (out of 4) I worked on 20 different projects. Each day is different, each task is different. Could be pile review, ground model creation, plotting values, redaction of a report, a summary of the geology of a region, learning form a guidance, group meetings for learning and development.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I had to write reports for desk studies in my 2nd language. It was a good challenge, a lot of things to learn and I was helped by an amazing and kind team.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I am in internship after only 2 years of engineering studies out of 5. I just had basic knowledge in geology, nothing in Geotech. So I had to learn everything. Nothing was familiar to me except a few things about water due to my previous internship.
