Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I provide climate consultancy to clients, especially surrounding adaptation and resilience. My day to day work involves aiding senior managers with work such as literature reviews, excel and GIS based work, and report writing.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the work I complete at Arup - I feel like I am treated with respect and trusted to contribute to project work. However, university creates a stressful environment due to the disorganisation.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt lots of new skills, many specialised to the work I am doing, but some more general such as GIS and excel.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
I value the study leave I am given by Arup, however the university programme is not at all organised or communicated. This is improving, but the way we receive this information is not with understanding of the stress that we have been put through
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5

2/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
I am part of the Neurodiversity and LGBT+ working groups.
