Last week, we welcomed Sam, from Hitchin Boys' School, for a rotational work experience placement across a variety of our departments.
With an interest in pursuing a career in civil engineering, Sam spent time with teams across the business to gain a deeper understanding of the construction industry and the many career paths it offers.
Throughout the week, Sam explored a wide range of roles across the business. He built on his CAD skills with our Design team, joined our Surveying team on a visit to the new SEN school project in Letchworth, and learned how our Estimating team supports projects through the tender process. He also discovered the important work carried out by our Business Management and Customer Care teams, gaining valuable insight into how we deliver successful projects and support our clients every step of the way.
Reflecting on his placement, Sam said:
"Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed my placement at Ashe since it has helped me to understand more about the construction industry as a whole, as well as the different smaller groups and roles available within construction."
Thank you, Sam, for your enthusiasm throughout the week and we wish you every success in your future studies and career.
