Engineering Technician Review

I am an assistant technician within an infrastructure team. My day to day job includes doing 3D modelling using Civil 3D. I also use CAD to create drawings for projects. I work closely with engineers and other technicians across the company when working on projects.

I have learned about Civil Engineering through my college course. I have also learned about 3D modelling when doing a Civil 3D course which was useful as it allows me to provide the skills required within my role in the team.

I enjoy working as part of a team. The complany as a whole is excellent and makes sure i am progressing well and are happy within my job.

My line manager regularly asks me how i am getting on in my position at work and asks if i am happy. I feel like recently, as i have been gaining experience, that i am getting more and more involved in projects. I go to meetings now and feel like i have more responsibility within projects.

The apprenticeship programme i am on is well done. i am day release at college and work four days per week, which i think works well.

I work closely with my mentor on a day to day basis so i would say i receive all of the guidance i require.

Within Arup everyone is always willing to give a helping hand and support everyone within the company.

I think that Arup pays quite well, however i think the work of a technician could be valued at a higher price.

There are several opportunities outwith work. There is a sports and social team within arup which holds events quite regularly.

Yes

Arup is an excellent company to work for and will help you to acheive the goals you look to work towards.

Ensure you are keen to work as part of a team. Must be willing to work hard and be reliable.
