A whole year of new experiences – Alex, Operations Consultant

“In my first month, I was asked to visit construction sites with electrical surveyors to understand the process customers go through when connecting their house or small business to the grid. It took a while to build the trust of the surveyor I was with, but during a van ride together we got to chatting about shared interests and life outside of work. From then on, he became a close ally who helped me build a better picture of the small connections process.”

“I worked with three different clients during my first six months at Newton. However, most of my time was spent with a defence manufacturer, where I went from process mapping and handing out work-to lists to running sessions with senior clients and helping to develop our approach to manufacturing across the site.

Best of all, I made genuine friends among my client counterparts. I remember spending the morning of my final day on site driving around the local area collecting cakes and snacks to bring into the office. I was sad to leave, but now – over six months later – I’m back on site again for the implementation phase.”
