Construction Engineer Review

By the end of my placement year I had really enjoyed the work undertaken. During my year I worked on a variety of projects in different departments and learnt a great deal. This exposure to different environments and processes was constantly interesting. I would highly recommend Fluor to any student looking for a placement.

I was assigned immediately onto a project and worked under a manager who guided me throughout my first few months on the project. He would assign tasks and deliverables that were within an interns capabilities. He also personally oversaw my personal development and put goals to work to. This extended to each project I worked on with Fluor and is something that is common.

Day to day tasks were always available and days were never left empty. It helped being assigned to projects. Longer projects or tasks were assigned to myself to work on around day to day jobs.

At the beginning of the placement I was under a training period and was given smaller tasks to complete - as the placement went on the responsibility to grew considerably. The last few months of the placement I worked in a group managing a subcontractor.

I learned a great deal about organization and discipline when it comes to managing work and people. I learnt a huge amount from Flours in house training scheme that helped me understand the industry - this in turn pushed my studies forward.

The atmosphere is good in the office and on site. There is a wide variety of people from all over the world so it's a great chance to meet new people. This was also the same at site and everyone always makes you feel welcome.

The construction internship is still fairly new within Fluor but they're very supportive in everything you do as an intern. I was immediately assigned to a project when I started. I was always supported by HR and the construction team throughout my placement.

Fluor offer constant training with workshops, online courses and presentations. If there is a topic you want to know more about then there is either someone within the company or a course which you can complete. Fluor show they are interested in developing you further throughout the placement.

Very appealing and one of the main reasons why I chose to do my placement year with Fluor. There is a clear path forward after your placement year. I was offered a position within the organization after my final year of study.

There is a large graduate and intern group that organizes socials and activities throughout the year. In addition the project and department teams have events and socials - there is also something to get involved with.

Reasonably priced and the package you were given supported this easily.

Central London is only 30 minutes on the train. There is plenty of bars and pubs local to the office.

Yes there was many sports clubs to get involved with. There is also day trips organized to local attractions and end of year parties and Christmas socials.
