The Role
It was a fantastic experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
My colleagues were very friendly and we had strong relationships outside of work even after finishing my placement.
My immediate manager was excellent, he really helped me to make the most out of the placement. Everyone else was very friendly and knew that although you were on your placement you could produce excellent work.
The Job required excellent time management skills as it is non stop with lots of work on the go!
I was put in charge of many high capital projects and often my decisions were accepted without question!!
Wonderful skills that have been boosted greatly!
The Company
Always friendly and a very happy atmosphere even if everyone was busy!
It was organised very well and by having weekly meetings with my manager meant that I could work very well!
Lots of time and resources were spent into making my placement an excellent experience!
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
The Culture
Very friendly and even though the other placement workers were from different areas, everyone got on very well!
Yes, I often would partake in 5 a side football with many other employees.
