Overview
I complete design packs for local highway agencies, usually including the upgrade of existing sites to newer technologies, allowing for improved levels of mobility throughout the area. These design packs include, but are not limited to, AUTOCAD drawings, risk assessments, client meetings and site visits. Each site is different so it allows for a flexible working environment.
Skills
I have learnt many skills directly related to the job during my time here; Customer liaison, Health and Safety in the workplace, On-site assessments, Risk Assessments and First Aid training. I have completed various training courses relating to anything from project management to business communication to improving my strengths (strengthscope) I have also learnt how to use new software's such as AUTOCAD, Quickgreens and how to write basic HMTL / javascript
Responsibilities
Yes, after the first week of intensive training, the 'training wheels' were off and I was allowed to speak with clients and work un-supervised on designs. Although the responsibility came quickly, the level of support never died down. Everyone was incredibly helpful.
Support & Guidance
The level of support and guidance I received during this role was un-paralleled to anything I have every experienced.
Culture
The company culture is based around 5 pillars based around inclusion, diversity, equality and a zero harm culture. The general atmosphere is very casual and welcoming. The company incentivises you to do a period of volunteering each year. Within my team we often organise social events out of work, although it is geographically limiting.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I would 100% return to Siemens.
Yes
My best piece of advice, which I myself didn't follow, would be to try to remain calm and not overwork yourself before the interview / assessment centre.
