    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • The planning application monitoring service was often left under my supervision. I have ran with minimum oversite a large access instruction for a National Grid Scheme and ran with no company oversite a drone assessment access instruction. At all times during these there were colleagues in the office who I could request advice from if needed, however my colleagues often requested no updates from me for weeks at a time following the first five months.
