    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My role within Motts was to work on different projects not just within the bridges and civil structures sector, aiding with multiple reports, drawings, calculations and attending on-site inspections. I had a far greater involvement with Mott MacDonald projects than expected and I have used software's that I previously had not engaged such as MIDAS and ASBD.
