The Role
I enjoyed my placement a lot and found it to be a valuable insight into practical engineering.
Every in the office was friendly and willing to help.
Always willing to help and answer questions whilst allowing me to work things out for myself.
Sometimes the work was a bit quiet, however, it could quickly change and I would find myself being very busy. Due to the nature of Engineering consultancy I imagine this is often the case.
I felt I was given an increasing amount of responsibility as the placement progressed.
Many extremely useful and versatile skills, All extremely relevant to my degree programme.
The Company
Easy-going and friendly.
Flexi Time
Financial Bonus
The company seemed lively and were looking to expand during challenging market conditions. This makes employment prospects seem good.
The Culture
Aberdeen is expensive.
