Overview
Daily tasks include calculations, excel tasks, software testing, project-related work. Daily interactions include working with other engineers / Placement student to complete the task in hand. External interactions are minimal at this stage. Responsible for the assistance in delivery of projects to a set timeframe. Projects include MINERVA and in-house software.
Skills
Work on a range of software includeing Tekla Tedds, AutoCAD, MathCAD, STAAD Pro has been undertaken, as well as in-house Mott MacDonald software. Existing skills such as working as a team and working under deadlines have been improved upon.
Responsibilities
The work was overseen and checked by other engineers, so although responsibility in performing tasks was given, sole responsibility was not in my hands.
Support & Guidance
Much support and guidance was provided by the Nuclear team in terms of explaining how to perform certain calculations, explaining the core theory behind some of the principles etc. No questions left unanswered.
Culture
The company culture is amazing, especially all the extra curricular activities that we do. e.g, I had the chance to learn skiing
