    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I am part of an asset management team, responsible for undertaking site visits and writing General and Principal Inspection reports for several structures across London. I am also part of the HS2 team, as an Assistant Engineering Manager, mainly reviewing documents. Last but not least, in close collaboration with other interns, we are executing three other projects. On a day-to-day basis, I have meetings with my co-workers and other interns whilst working on tasks assigned by my buddy and line manager.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have definitely enhanced a sense of communication and team work. I have also developed further my critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. Finally, time-management is an important skill I have developed during my time at Arcadis, since being part of several projects at a time requires strong organizational skills.
