Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Involved in data analysis of the health of our assets, as well as being involved in the treatment process team to get involved with the engineering principles.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my time in the treatment process team where I can show my love for the engineering world and help with my experience.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Learnt about general engineering principles and how to apply them in my work as well as excel skills and general office and site health and safety.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Very well structured, I have my weeks while I’m at university and then back at work. This helps to set a definite devide in my time.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Lot of support around all the learning and up skilling that I need for my role as well as help and support around my university work.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Lecturers always respond to emails even if it takes a day or two, sometimes are a little vague.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
If I was more involved in the treatment process team my degree will be exactly what I need, however as the minority of my time is spent elsewhere.
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
There are many away days to get to know the wider team, as well as two charity days a year we can take to help a charity of our choice
