Overview
My role as an Industrial Placement Student within the Foundations and Geotechnics department is to support colleagues on the Scarborough Subway Extension project. My tasks are normally to produce CAD drawings, extract information from FEA and write reports for internal/external submission. I mainly interact with people within the office, but occasionally interact with colleagues around the world.
Skills
Yes, I have learnt some new skills. Some of the skills that I've learnt is to use different types of FEA/CAD software and social interaction skills as I interact with colleagues from around the world. I've also developed many skills, some of which is the use of excel, AutoCAD and report writing.
Responsibilities
Yes, I was given quite a bit of responsibility. With the addition of support from colleagues on the same project, I had the responsibility to produce CAD drawings, numerical modelling reports, data extraction and calculations to determine the stability of the structure.
Support & Guidance
Yes, I've received a lot of support, specifically from my line manager and resource manager.
Culture
The atmosphere within the company is great! I've always felt integrated within the team and well-supported, especially within my resource team group.
Your Impressions
I've enjoyed it a lot! Enjoyed working on the different projects and being exposed to the different types of experiences.
Yes
Research about the company and all its different sectors/projects. Try to show your passion and interest for Engineering and the company values that you've researched.
