What are the Best and Worst things about your job?
Best
The project work I do is specifically within the Maritime team, and I have found I enjoy working and learning about the various coastal infrastructure around Scotland and the Scottish Isles.
The variety of interesting and challenging work keeps things fresh.
My colleagues are all lovely and supportive and create a great environment for the learning you take on as part of the apprenticeship, balancing the work/education I have received.
Worst
It is a minor thing, but working within a Civil Engineering Consultancy company means you may not spend a lot of time on site. This is team/project dependent really, so there are many variables that have led to me having relatively limited time on site.
Time on site sets you up for success on future projects and allows you to gain a better grasp of the works you're doing, so not always having this opportunity can feel somewhat like a hindrance.
