Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am an assistant site manager. My day to day roles and interactions mostly revolve around managing the health and safety on site, as well as the quality of the work for the packages I am involved in.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy my work, I often find the university study not as enjoyable but the work I am given on site is interesting for the most part.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have used many new softwares that I had never used. My people skills have developed massively since joining.

They will help out whenever I ask for it and always give me the time.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

mostly. There are some modules at university that I dont feel are relevant to my job role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are social events and networking events, often involving a subcontractor or client too. Lots of social value events take place which benefit team morale and a good cause. We have a yearly gala for the apprentices.
