Summer Intern Review

I helped with various tasks within the structures team. I was able to work on projects that allowed me to get an insight into the type of work I would be completing as a graduate. There was a variety of tasks throughout the internship that I worked on. My manager would assign me a task and I would check in with him if I needed any help.

New skills I learned: - Using new software like Tekla Tedds - Using templify to enhance my presentation on reports - I learnt a lot about what resources to use and the variety of recourses available online Skills I was able to develop: - enhanced my communication skills - enhanced my problem-solving skills - presentation skills were enhanced - my technical knowledge was developed

Yes, I was responsible for creating a report for a specific signal in wales. This was then sent to the client for checking. This responsibility allowed me to understand the importance of working to a high standard and not allowing room for any mistakes. Through speaking to my manager, I was provided with lots of guidance and help to ensure the report was done well. Even with this responsibility, I was never left to feel worried as guidance and reassurance were always available and provided.

I was always able to speak to my manager or anyone within the team if I needed any help. My manager always caught up with me to ensure I was okay and getting on with the task well. I was sent and guided to a huge selection of resources. My buddy was also very welcoming and reassuring and answered any questions I may have had throughout my time there. I felt very supported.

The culture with the company and specifically the team was very positive. Everyone was very welcoming and encouraging. The structures team really did feel like a team and the regular catch-up calls on Mondays ensured everyone was on track and aware of each other's schedule. The general atmosphere was very lovely and I enjoyed getting to know my colleagues.

I had a really great and positive time at my internship. I learnt lots, worked on lots of exciting/important projects, met lots of inspiring and knowledgeable people and generally gained lots from this experience. I was able to truly understand what it will be like to work as a graduate and understand the day to day life of an engineer which is the reason I had applied to the internship. I really enjoyed my internship.

During the application questions, take time to answer each question and be bold with your answers. Try not to give a generic answer that will be common. Talk about your personal experiences and how you stand out from others. Before the interview, prepare yourself and know about Mott MacDonald and their values.
