As part of our commitment to developing future talent, Walters recently welcomed Wil Hockenhull, a Cardiff University Civil Engineering student, for an eleven-week summer placement.

After completing his first year of study, Wil was eager to gain insight into the contracting side of civil engineering with hands-on experience with site surveying equipment. During his placement, Wil worked closely with our Site Engineering team, using a range of survey equipment to assist the team with setting out, quality control, and quality checks.

“The GPS systems were new to me, and I was surprised by how versatile the instruments are and how often they are used - from surveying and marking out to machine control. My time with Walters has reaffirmed my decision to pursue a career in Civil Engineering,” Wil said.

Wil made a fantastic contribution during his time with the team, showing enthusiasm and a strong desire to learn. We’re proud to have supported him in gaining valuable industry experience and wish him every success in his future studies and career.
