Orlando Street Industrial Mentor Day

Civil engineering students from The University of Sheffield were recently invited on an office visit and site tour of Orlando Street bridge replacement as part of the industrial mentor scheme run by alumni of the university.

Students were given an introduction to Tony Gee, to working in a consultancy and an overview of the Orlando Street project. They then got to visit the site for a tour and discussion about working with contractors, given by J. Murphy & Sons Limited. The day gave the students a useful insight into working in civil engineering and some useful advice on how to approach finding their first job.
