The Role
Excellent place to work and was a great opportunity to gain offshore experience.
Very friendly and patient.
Good support from mangement. My supervisor provided a clear work plan and was always very helpful.
Never bored. The work was interesting and if the project was on track there extra were opportunities in on line learning programs.
I feel the level of responsibilty was adequate considering my role.
All my skills were tested. Communication and technical skills have definately improved. Has improved my ability to complete future work at University.
The Company
High work ethos within the company but at the same time everyone still had fun.
10/10 for organisation and structure, it was first-class.
A trip offshore, real projects, presentations, collaboration with senior engineers, networking, site visits....the list goes on.
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel

Company Parties/Events
My future employment depends on the many aspects which are out of my control. Regardless, it would be a great company for a developing Engineer.
The Culture
Some unforgettable moments together. It was a good laugh.
Accommadation paid for and free meals during work hours. Also reduced costs at social events.
Nightlife is good, but can be expensive.
Before I started the placement I was given a list of activities outside of work. Many highlights of my placement happened at outside of work activities.
