Job Satisfaction at Alluvium Group

As a graduate, my role is to provide project support. This means completing tasks assigned to me by the project manager. These mainly include qualitative and quantitative data analysis, spatial analysis, report writing, and some research. I occasionally attend external meetings with clients.

My role as a graduate is exciting, as I'm encouraged to work across a range of project area and with a variety of people in order to gain a good foundation/experience in what's available to work on at Alluvium. Day to day, my responsibilities may involve attending a resourcing meeting with my immediate team to discuss our respective focus and capacity for the week, and if anyone may need assistance. I may then have a meeting with a client and fellow team member to provide an update on how a project is progressing, and then discuss any aspects of the project that require feedback from the client. I may then be at my desk for a number of hours working on project work, which can range from data analysis in Excel, to writing communication/education materials for public dissemination, to making a map in QGIS, to designing an engagement workshop, or doing a literature review.
