Trainee Cost Consultant Review

Assisting in auditing motorway audits. Using Excel to verify if costs are allowable under the contract, consolidating data and communication with the client about requesting more data to assist in the process

Yes, I was given work in which I was allowed to get on and do it without having someone 'over my shoulder', allowing me to learn on my own

Greatly developed Excel skills and also greatly developed time management skills

My line manager was always on hand to assist and guide, I had weekly catch up meetings to discuss anything, whether it be work related or not. Also had another more senior team member who gave me work supporting me on the work

I work from home so haven't experienced office. But the general culture is very laid back but professional. Working hours were somewhat flexible you could start work an hour later and or finish an hour earlier if needed. As long as the work was completed and to a high level when, where and what time you completed it was your choice

I wish I went into the office more to meet my team members
But apart from that I really enjoyed my placement

Yes
