I originally chose to pursue engineering as it’s a technical subject that allows for big issues to be addressed, such as the need for sustainability, and make a lasting impact. Having finished my third year at Nottingham Trent University, my time at Engenuiti has been so valuable and helped put theory into practice.
What surprised me the most was how passionate everyone is here, they are helpful, approachable and incredibly knowledgeable about their work. It has made the workplace really comfortable and helped me learn so much, more than I thought I could in such a short time.
There is a big focus on sustainability at Engenuiti which was reflected in my tasks. I had the chance to work on a carbon calculator and undertake studies to find the embodied carbon of various pool materials, to help towards future leisure centre projects.
One of my favourite tasks was the chance to use software, such as Robot, Civil 3D and Revit, in conjunction with Dynamo to help find ways of making the structural design process more efficient.
I’ve been fortunate to work across many projects, particularly a Leisure Centre project as I have seen how a project develops from Stage 2 and the different studies carried out to really make it sustainable. I have really enjoyed my experience at Engenuiti, I’ve developed my skills as a future engineer and am very grateful to have had this opportunity to work with such a collaborative and versatile practice.
