To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Really enjoying it, UCEM have been amazing, always there to help and recently I recieved some bad news and they where in touch right away to ask how they could help and support me.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed in confidence, given a lead role for the document control function, chairing meetings, writing procedures and teaching other team members and stakeholders internal and external.
The project I was supporting was particularly difficult at first as the client hadn't undertaken a EPC role previously.
