Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Working with a team, in an office based on site. Focussing on procurement of packages and valuations to begin with
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Slowly being trusted with more responsibilty.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
All completely new to me, having never worked in the construction industry before, learnt lots through peers.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
What the job looks like differs a lot from other apprentices I know within the company, not much of a set structure within the company, more dependent on the team that you are working with.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Lots of support from internal team.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Not much communication on this part, besides the early careers team.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Only completed first year of the qualification- did not provide much on the job skill. Really useful being emersed on site from the beginning to gauge a competence on the construction environment.
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
Loads of social and teams within BAM.
