Overview
As a part of electrical design team my day-to-day tasks involved helping out on electrical / lighting design projects.
Skills
For the short time working here I have learned many new skills and developed some of existing skills. I had a chance to learn how electrical design is performed using CAD software and how lighting in new build structures is designed. I also had a chance to develop my research skills .
Responsibilities
As a vacation student, all of the tasks performed by me were checked by an experience colleague and so I wasn't responsible for much.
Support & Guidance
The support and guidance was excellent. There is a '' Buddy '' system operating in the company for the vacation students where each of us is assigned to a experience college. This person helped me with all the necessary guidance, training and support throw-out every single day. Also , I could ask any of the staff for extra support if needed.
Culture
The office seemed like a very friendly place with a great atmosphere.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed the placement very much as I learned few new skills, got some insight into the design sector and had chance to work along some great people. After spending 6 weeks in Arup I can definitely say that I will want to go back after my studies are finished.
Yes
Spend some extra time on the online application as it is quite detailed.
