HSE/Construction Intern Review

I very much enjoy my placement. I am gaining a wealth of knowledge at one of the biggest engineering, construction and procurement. What I love about this placement is that even though the company is vast I am taught on a one to one level and gain experience from some of the industries leading experts.

I would say a 9. There is a fantastic work ethic at Fluor and you cant help but feel driven to work smarter and harder. I felt all my views were taken on board and any queries I had were thoroughly explained to my benefit.

I have 1 to 1 guidance from the HSE director for UK/Ireland as well as the Construction Coordinator for the UK. At Fluor there is a very flat hierarchy making it very simple to access information and guidance. If I had any questions they were all answered. Any questions I had about any sector of the company were explained by the leading people in that sector, as an example, I had a question about sales within the company, as such I had a half hour meeting with the director of sales in the UK office.

From the start to where I am now the work load was very well structured so as to slowly bring me into the company and help learn their systems and methods. As time has gone on I have steadily gained more and more work load which has been incredibly well managed.

This again depended upon how I was managing each task that was given, there was no work given that I could not manage and as time has gone on I have gained more responsibility. However, going back to what I said earlier, if I was at any point stuck, at Fluor you are encouraged to ask questions and get help from people to expand your learning.

I can honestly give this a 10. Due to Fluor's vast wealth of information, construction history and fantastic work structure I am able to investigate and explore the routes of engineering and construction that appeal to me that will allow me thrive at university and write the dissertation that I want.

Positive and proactive. Very helpful people and a fantastic office site.

Very much so. Every step of the internship feels as though it has been custom designed for each intern and they mold the program around your skills and help develop your weaknesses.

They invested a great deal in my training and development on a number of courses.

I hope to join Fluor upon completion of university. It is the only company that I would like at this time in my life to work for.

Very much so. They have graduate groups, social groups, sports groups that organise regular trips, activities and events, in and out of the office.

The cost of living was high, however, my salary covered that and whenever I was on site, (I am now) all living and travelling costs are subsidized.

I do not tend to partake in these activities as such I could not comment however, London is a 20 minute journey by train.

As explained previously. There are many opportunities and activities for all employees to get involved in.
