Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I am actively involved in projects within each team I've worked in and often going out on site. I often collaborate with graduates and more senior surveyors.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The graduates in each department I have worked in have been very helpful and accommodating, answering with confidence any queries I had.
