START Date: 
November, 2011

Became a project control engineering apprentice shortly after I left school. I am now in my 4th and final year of my apprenticeship; I was a project control engineer for Siemens VAI after I spent the first year of my apprenticeship at NETA, after a year and a half at Siemens i was made redundant and I carried on progressing within NETA, after 3 months I started at Topside but after 5 weeks I decided I couldnt fulfill my aims as an proj. engineer while being there so i left. I am now currently in C & A Pumps completeing my final year, i have been here 3 weeks now.

My duties and roles included planning & scheduling, cost estimating, risk assessing & quality assurance. I am trying to progress myself in as many areas as possible in the hope that I could eventually become a Project Manager.

Academically, I completed my BTEC NC in construction of the built environment, and I am in my 2nd and final year of my fdsc in Project Control/management, I am planning on taking a 3rd year honours top up course but I'm not sure in what yet.
