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

    • Had monthly 1 -1 meetings where I was given advice and could ask for guidence. I asked to gain experience in other teams to build up my skills and experience and was allowed to work in another team for a few weeks.

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

    • At times I was training graduate engineers. I was put in charge of field test data analysis for our team which was vital to our trend analysis. I was always given opportunities to do the same level of work as senior engineers.
