Brookbanks is excited to launch this years' Graduate Rotation Programme!
This week, Brookbanks welcomed six new graduates to our teams to take part in our Graduate Rotation Programme. Over the next 18 months, the graduates will spend time within each of our Groups to gain exposure to the entirety of our business.
As the week draws to a close, we asked our newest team members to let us know how their first week at Brookbanks has been and what they are looking forward to most as they look forward to commencing their rotation.
My first week at Brookbanks has been an incredibly welcoming experience and I would like to thank everybody involved for being so kind throughout the transition. I already feel like I am part of the team due to the overwhelming support from all members and my fellow graduates.
I am excited to begin my first rotation within the Civil Engineering sector and look forward to being able to gain the practical experience within this rotation. The opportunity to collaborate on meaningful projects with such a dedicated team is something I look forward to. I am eager to take my next steps with Brookbanks and cannot wait to see what I am capable of achieving with Brookbanks support.
My first week at Brookbanks has been illuminating, it’s been great to witness the company’s culture firsthand. Conversing with various members of Brookbanks across all departments has provided me with a greater understanding of the operations of each of them, and how they seamlessly work together.
Various people at Brookbanks across all levels have imparted crucial advice that will help me as I begin my rotation at the company, beginning in the Cost & Commercial department. It has also been great to meet the other graduates who will be beginning the same journey that I am embarking on, and I look forward to developing with them over the coming months.
I am leaving my first week at Brookbanks assured that this is the firm that I would love to develop at professionally and personally. This is a place with a hardworking and welcoming workforce, and I look forward to contributing to the incredible work being done here.
My first week has been a positive and warm welcome to Brookbanks. Everyone here is very friendly, willing to answer all our questions and made us feel like we belong from day 1. I’ve had the opportunity to meet my new colleagues from all the various teams, as well as the other graduates and I am excited to work and learn alongside them.
Next week I begin my journey with the Development Management Group, and I am looking forward to gaining hands on experience in all aspects of the business and expand my skills and knowledge. This week has been an excellent way to start our Graduate Rotation Programme so thank you to everyone who made us feel so comfortable.
This first week at Brookbanks has been very informative and useful. I’ve gotten practice with all the new systems and work, so I’ll be ready for my first rotation with the Land, Development, and Community team. I’m starting to challenge myself, utilise my skills, and begin my career in the working world, gaining first hand experience on projects, in meetings, and through collaboration.
It was also so great getting to know people at Brookbanks and the other graduates as we’ve worked together. Everyone is so nice, and it’s very easy to ask for help, as they are all willing to assist.
Thank you to everyone who has helped and welcomed me in. I’m looking forward to working with everyone and beginning my first rotation.
We can’t wait to watch these amazing people join our teams and begin this professional and personal journey at Brookbanks.
