  Civil Engineer (Vac Work)
  Vacation Work Experience (VWE): VWE is a period where I went practical engineering induction and worked under the instruction and supervision of my manager. During this period, I was getting exposed to the industry and the type of deliverables associated with it. Most of the time I was based on site conducting rebar inspection, prepared structural layouts, sections, and apply some structural engineering theories learnt in university.
