Overview
Carrying out tasks handed to me by the Civil engineering team within the substations team. This was a range of jobs such as producing different types of designs from foundation designs to transformer bund calculations among any other tasks.
Skills
I have developed my presentation skills, my ability to work within a team has increased massively compared to university as well as my ability to work independently. The new skills I have learned is how to use some design software and carry out calculations to a certain standard dictated to me before I begin the tasks. On top of all of this I have come away with a much better understanding of how a business operates within the Engineering sector.
Responsibilities
I feel I was given a lot of responsibility for the tasks that I carried out, which gave me a lot of satisfaction knowing I had important jobs to do.
Support & Guidance
I received all the support that I needed.
Culture
I really enjoyed the day to day atmosphere whilst I was in the office.
