Overview
Everyday is different. However, days can be either on site visits or in the office, when working in the office it could be one of various offices in the UK. I am also able to work from home. I attend meetings, in person and online, attend social events with the office and/or team, I update and organise files, I work a lot with excel spreadsheets to complete a variety of tasks such as Change Request Forms. When on site, I attend meetings and I have walked around the site with Quantity surveyors or health and safety assessment team to gain a deeper understanding of other roles.
Skills
I have developed my excel skills further. I have also learnt how to navigate new programmes such as SharePoint, Viewpoint and CEMAR. I have learnt how to complete Change Request Forms and how to effectively write meeting minutes.
Responsibilities
Yes, I feel as though I have been given responsibility. I have had to complete Change Request Forms which are used by my manager. I have also played a key role in the Sustainability Special Interest Group, in which I have developed work to produce to a large number of people within the company. I also am due to do two presentations independently, the first on outreach schemes and the second on health and safety.
