5/5
Apprentice site engineer- overview:
- setting out on site
-ordering materials and plant for site
-performing day to day engineering problems to suit the design given to me.
- work alongside site engineer and other operatives on site.
-produce meaningful solutions to design drawings that may not work on site.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my programme to its full extent. Learning at college one day a week on my HNC course provides me with valuable knowledge about civil engineering. However, I believe most of my learning comes from being on site 4 times a week, learning off of my mentor. All of the skills i have gathered so far from this programme have helped me become the engineer i want to be.
