Transport Planning Degree Apprentice Review

During my time as a degree apprentice at Mott MacDonald, I have been fortunate enough to work on a variety of projects that vary in size and complexity. I have had the opportunity to engage with clients and participate in a number of stakeholder workshops. I have also worked with colleagues all over the country as well as colleagues in Prague.

Key skills I have developed during my time at Mott MacDonald include: ArcGIS, Transport Assessments, Transport Statements, Travel Plans, Traffic and Transport Environmental Impact Assessments and Active Travel Zone Assessments.

I am thoroughly enjoying my programme. I am able to see the connections between the taught learning modules and the workplace. My most recent module on Project Management was particularly interesting.

Very well.

I receive a lot of support from my employer. I have regular catch up meetings with my line manager to ensure I am meeting the requirements of my apprenticeship.

I receive great support from my university and know who to go to if/when I am struggling.

The knowledge I am gaining from my university can be applied in the workplace, helping me become a better Transport Planner. It has also helped me further develop the skill of time-management through balancing my work and studies.

My local team have monthly socials which I regularly attend. My office also has a Sports & Social team which organise events, these are often good networking opportunities.

Yes

Mott MacDonald is a great company to work for; it has a healthy company culture, encourages a healthy work life balance and employees are valued.

Mott MacDonald provides an enormous amount of opportunities for growth and development. The best thing about Mott MacDonald is the people you work with, they never hesitate to provide support and advice.
