The Site Agent and Senior Site Engineer gave many opportunities to learn and grow but when I needed they were there to answer any questions I had and if they didn't know would try find out for me.
Culture
Due to COVID a lot of company wide events were cancelled, however the Kier Moving for May was a big success and I was Team Captain for our site team.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my placement and it exceeded my expectations on what a placement was - I got more responsibility and did more work that went towards the actual project than I thought I would. I would definitely go back - in fact, I have a summer placement lined up for next year.
