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

    • During the placement I am currently on, I shadow a qualified Project Manager and work through work that has been set by me. An example of the work may be communicating with the contractor around Utilities or other problems, or I may prep Early Warning or General Communication to the Contractor.
