Cost administrator Review

I am a Cost Administrator at balfour beatty. the day consists of entering tickets to the system and making calls to suppliers for invoices.

using a new accounting system (Oracle) and improving my communication skills across the board.

It's not very tasking however it does fulfil me that way. But the team i work with are very enthusiatic

I'm not given the major roles, but we do respect one another and everyone one is stronger in a subject that another ones not. so in that respect, Quite.

there are times when there is just not enough for me to do, in those times i just use it for revision. I was provided with my day to day job. in the whole year theres about 95% that i'll have nothing Work related to do.

A lot, they provided me with the placement and i go once a week. we get support in the classroom as well as online.

A lot as well. she understands that we are under pressure to preform well at work and school and still survive. She provides me with a day off one day before and on the date of the exam. she does not take it out of my holiday. although exams are fun, she understands thats not how we want to spend our holiday time.

its a decent amount considering the finance of just my car, how for someone whois living independently, it could be quite far fetched.

i assume its to do with activities outside of work and yes we do. we have an emerging talents comittee targeted at apprntices. they have only held one meeting but it was a lot of fun meeting new people who are doing something similar to me.

Yes

Its mainly to give them a second chance at getting the education and experience part of life right. A levels can be really challenging and people are looking for new ways to enter uni. If you show the managers of the business that you are interested in being more than a clerk/administrator, then they'll show interest and introduce you to people who can guide and be your mentor. The best thing about working in such an environment is that maturity and drive encourages people to help you.

work hard, be very social, show your interests from the start to get noticed.
