Temporary Traffic Management Designer Review

At Consilium, I was a Traffic management designer. I had to use CAD to create Traffic Management plans. Traffic management plans are designs that show a working site, usually on a highway. These plans complied with relevant documentation such as Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 8 and the Safety at Street works & Roadworks Act 2013. I would also communicate with our clients to ensure the best service was provided and carry out other general tasks set out by our line manager. We attended numerous placements and training courses relevant to our role to ensure we had a good understanding of what we were designing, and further develop our knowledge within the Traffic Management industry.
We also carried out monthly presentations to our line managers and occasionally to the team. This was to showcase what we were learning or what we have learnt, also demonstrating our continuous professional development. This also helps us improve our confidence and allowed us to prepare for the End Point Assessment, which is carried out at the end of my apprenticeship.

It was structured well. Consilium had a set structure but also offered the flexibility to undertake training.

I received a substantial amount of support for my professional and personal development.

I receive a good level of support from my training provider. They provide clear guidance, regular communication, and timely feedback to help me stay on track with my qualifications. Overall, the support is accessible and helps me progress with confidence.

My HNC in Civil Engineering helps me perform better in my role by strengthening my technical knowledge and understanding of industry standards. It allows me to apply theory directly to real‑world tasks, improving my problem‑solving and confidence at work. Overall, it supports my professional development and effectiveness in the role

Yes

A great kick‑start to my career, providing valuable skills, experience, and confidence to progress professionally.
