    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I enjoyed every day of my internship, not a day went by that I wasn't grateful for the opportunity and the time of my seniors and fellow colleagues. This experience will stay with me and help me thrive in my career and future ambitions.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Since day 1. The day I came I was made to feel welcomed and part of the team. The professionalism and friendly nature of the team was there from the beginning to the end. Great atmosphere!

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Fantastic support! I felt like a valued member of the team contributing to the works of the surveyors. The team always had time for me and despite being busy and pressured at times, had times to support me and answer my queries and questions.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Work varied day to day but it's down to the individual to keep themselves busy within their role in the internship. I always had something to do.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • The team couldn't give as much responsibility as I would have liked understandably because as an Intern, we don't know anything but rather we are there to learn. However, there was a reliance upon me on completing the works set, and that too to the best of my ability.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have developed myself in many ways throughout the internship and I am confident that this experience will go a long way in helping me thrive in my final year at university and in my future career.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • A vibrant balance of getting work completed but also finding the time to have a light heartened conversation and a joke. Not too serious and not too 'full on banter'.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Couldn't fault it one bit! From start to finish it was superb! Very well Organised.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Investment of time, organisation and energy. Effort was made to ensure my questions were answered, my diary full and site visits scheduled in my calendar.
