Project Assistant (Construction) Review

Completing various admin tasks such as printing the required plans and sections. Collating design issues raised in meetings to a concise document that is shared to the design management team. Contacting key consultants for design issues and providing them with the relevant information they require. Monitoring activities on site and keeping track of work through site diaries. Learning from the trades on their process on site and keeping records of this. Reporting any potential health and safety issues as well as any issues the trades have.

I have improved on my communication and time management skills. I also improved on my construction knowledge. I strengthened my note taking and drawing skills during my time at Mace.

I was given some responsibility that affected the project but would have liked to take part in more.

I was given a lot of help that was tailored towards my personal development. I was able to answer many questions I have always had about construction as many of the staff where very open and receptive to questions.

It was generally a friendly atmosphere and one that championed taking initiative

I enjoyed working with such knowledgeable and approachable people. The team was very welcoming and I was able to learn a lot through listening.

Have what you want to achieve in mind, so you can guide your internship in the direction you want it to go in. Try talking to as many people as you can and keep asking questions.
