  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I have been so many opportunities with the ICE quest scholarship through Interserve Construction. This includes summer work placements throughout my degree during which I am placed on one of their sites to gain valuable experience that puts me ahead of my peers. The projects are always exciting but can be challenging at times but the learning experience is second to none. During my summer holidays from university I am placed on site and faced with many exciting and rewarding opportunities.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Teamwork is the biggest skill to learn when working with a team on site; no one person can do a job perfectly and it needs input from all sides to make a job successful. I have always been a shy person but working on site has given me so much confidence to ask people for help and advice.
