Project Management Summer Intern

Meet Kirsten – Project Management Summer Intern at Frazer-Nash.

Describe your career journey so far. 

"After completing two years of my undergraduate degree in Engineering Mathematics, I was keen to find a placement to apply my knowledge and gain exposure to real world engineering problems. I am now completing a summer placement at Frazer-Nash Consultancy in the Programme and Management Consultancy team."

What attracted you to Frazer-Nash? 

"Their values – we care, we are trusted, we deliver success, we want to do things that matter – certainly stood out to me. In my short time with FNC I’ve found them to really hold true. Their experience and expertise across diverse sectors also excited me as I looked to gain as much exposure as possible."

What do you enjoy about working at Frazer-Nash?

"With Frazer-Nash you get to work on a wide range of projects, offering a great insight into industries. I’ve gained so much experience in such a short amount of time, and with client delivery work there’s always new and varied challenges to face. The amount of responsibility I’ve been given has allowed me to really get involved in projects and develop my skillset, I’ve even had the opportunity to manage my own project. I’ve felt very welcomed into the team and had great support from colleagues. My work has been valued and appreciated; you feel you are making a difference and having a real, positive impact."

What are you excited for in your future at Frazer-Nash?

"I’m excited for the last few weeks of my placement at Frazer-Nash. I continue to face a variety of complex and interesting problems and know there’s still so much I can learn. I’ll enjoy spending time in such a great environment, expanding my network, and discovering more about the business."

What would be your top tip to members going through the application process?

"Don’t underestimate the value of soft skills. At Frazer-Nash you’ll be regularly engaging with clients and working in teams so demonstrating interpersonal skills can be just as important as your technical capability. Most importantly, show your enthusiasm and mention any areas or sectors that you’d like to explore – Frazer-Nash are great at finding things suited to your skills and interests."
