  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • My first 5 months of placement weren't ideal as I wasn't on a site where much was going on so didn't end up learning a lot. However, since the new year I have been on a much better site with a better site team which has meant I have learnt a lot.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by Morgan Sindall?
  • I feel valued by the team as I get given responsibility to obtain a lot of information from sub-contractors and I also get asked a lot to pay invoices from people outside of my site.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I think my programme could be structured better as I haven't seen much evidence of any structured learning or goals I should be aiming for. I think it would be helpful to aid my degree work if there was more of a structure.
