Lincoln IHP team supports work experience student

22nd March 2022

The IHP team at PHC Lincoln have recently supported A level student, Dylan Horton, for work experience during February half term.

Dylan worked alongside Joanne Holmes, VINCI Building and IHP's site engineer, and helped set out grid line off-sets for the SFS installers and took to using the Total Station really well. He also spent time with Henry Acaster, VINCI Building and IHP's Quantity Surveyor.

Dylan found his lockdown experience of home schooling to be challenging, especially tackling A level maths in isolation from his peers. He enjoyed learning about site activities and absorbed the information that was shared. The team are hoping to offer some more work experience to him in the summer once his exams are over.

My experience at VINCI has been exceedingly educational and has only further increased my desire to work in the construction industry. From the few days I have spent on site, on the Lincoln Project, where an extension build is currently underway, my understanding of the processes and practical practices has dramatically expanded. Observing tasks and working closely with employees whose roles consist of engineering, quantity surveying and construction management has enabled me to indulge myself in all aspects of construction and has highlighted how all these aspects are vital for a successful build.
I have closely worked with the site engineer Joanne Holmes who demonstrated the day to day occurrences for a site engineer. Not only has this allowed me to understand what practices aid a project to become complete but has also demonstrated to me how important attention to detail is. Additionally, working alongside Quantity Surveyor Henry Acaster, I have witnessed how important financial characteristics of projects are and how they can weigh in on project decisions.
