Overview
In Structures, I honed my computational and technical skills. I utilised Saudi building codes, Eurocodes, and various Middle Eastern codes to perform calculations and integrate them into my modelling tasks. I also gained knowledge in Net Zero Concrete, became proficient with nearly a dozen software programmes, and collaborated with the computational group.
Skills
I learnt various modelling skills when on placement. There was a heavy emphasis on computational structural engineering which is something I have been passionate about.
Responsibilities
Various different responsibilities. I spoke to clients sometimes and given tasks with a range of skillset.
Support & Guidance
I was supported throughout my placement. It was very informative and I got feedback too at the end. My line manager and buddy were very helpful.
Culture
Very welcoming. It has a balance of professionalism and friendliness. Everyone is hard working, but caring too.
