Civil Engineering Work Experience – Clancy Consulting (January 2019 to September 2019)

 

• This work experience allowed me to be involved in all stages of project design including preparing design calculations and drawings and highway projects (S38 and S278)
• I supported senior engineers in carrying out various tasks, which allowed me to develop my communication skills and team work as well as my Civil Engineering knowledge. 
• This role also allowed me to develop my confidence and technical skill in using 2D CAD, Hydrobrake and MicroDrainage.

 

ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE 

University of Leeds Institute of Transport Studies (September 2017 – September 2018)

• As part of my Masters programme I undertook a dissertation project which involved the redesign of a major roundabout in Leeds.
• This involved the use of the Linsig, Transyt and AutoCAD programmes to introduce signalisation and a hovering bridge to improve roundabout capacity and safety

This project allowed me to develop my knowledge of transport planning and engineering by understanding the real-world applications of the knowledge I have developed throughout my postgraduate studies.
