Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I have advanced from a previous apprenticeship as a BIM Technician so half of my time is as a BIM Specialist and then the other half is as an engineer. I also manage a BIM Technician apprentice too.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really really enjoy it and I feel that Mott MacDonald are always willing to assist and support me in anything that I do or would like to do. I am constantly given new opportunities and experiences.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Presentation / maths / digital / programming / managing / time.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very well organised. I have regular catch ups with my manager to ensure that I am on track and we plan for the future too.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
There are multiple avenues of support from many different parts of the company.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The training provider is the university and they assist me, but I would not say they are overly attentive during out of office hours.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I think that the learning gained from the training provider helps me have more background knowledge to then support me in my role at work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
I am involved in many different groups and wear many different hats too. This includes, digital, BIM, Office Management, IT and Innovation to name a few. There are also ECP (Early Career Professional) events and conversations and also a social division that organise events. Also professional networking events.
