Design and construction monitoring

in a grad roll so everything i do gets check over which is good because then i learn how to improve my work. day consists of some meetings, learning a new skill, and a site visit once a week.

Mainly assisting colleagues with smaller parts of a larger task. In recent times and as my time here progresses these tasks have gotten more involved (positive!) Helping with: - Economic analysis - Transporation assessments - Traffic analysis - Safety analysis

My day to day responsibilities is to carry out structural design on different types of projects. Recently, I have been working on a boardwalk and bridge Timber design.

Working on water related project, documents, design, communication, risk management etc.

Don't have very many responsibilities. Office I'm working at has lots of work for senior roles but not so much for entry level positions. I started out doing a lot of work directly for the manager because there wasn't any projects to work on which was also really intimidating. I didn't get a lot of guidance and still don't. You have to take initiative A LOT and be bold by asking questions that are super obvious to senior people but genuine questions when you're starting out.

It varies depending on project availability. When busy, I spend a lot of time working on reports and the odd site visit. Feasibility assessments, options assessment, concept design reports are the most common reports graduates work on at the consultancy level. Day to day, I often have to have meetings with other people the project is involved with.

I am quite satisfied with my daily responsibilities as my team is integrating me into project work. Having only started 2 months ago I am still going through the training process but was taken onboard a few projects during the first week of work. I also have fun planning for social events.

As a consultancy, we are expected to find work if we have nothing assigned. Can become an issue when there is nothing readily available but my opinion may also be biased as my role as a GIS analyst is relatively new to the office.

Mostly CAD work. Starting to get into lighting design.
