What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Your CV says a lot. I didn't have an online application process, but was selected on my CV and academic achievements to date. I was invited to a workshop/assessment day; I found it quite relaxing and that helped, and allowed me to contribute and cooperate with other candidates.

My advice would be to try to relax on assessment days, forget that senior employees are there and don't be shy in groups. There's no wrong answers!

Do you have any interview tips?

My interview was more of a informal chat, although I was being assessed. I spoke about my time at university. Things I enjoyed and didn't enjoy, projects I've worked on, showing a different set of skills (e.g. teamwork, analytical, computational methods, etc). I only had one project that had similar subject matter (building services), but it didn't matter because interviews are all about how you are as a character.

Act as you normally would, and try to find projects, subjects that you are interested in and passionate about. Try to relate it to the industry you are applying for.
