Keep a record of all your achievements.

• List of projects worked on and your role in them.
• Your position description for that project (may be different to your official job description). You may be listed as a graduate engineer but because of staff shortages you could be assigned to manage a project. If that means you are listed as the project manager to clients, then certainly record that role.
• Record the length of time in each role.
• Roles you played in the project
  • Design manager
  • Site engineer
  • Site design engineer
  • Project manager etc
• Skills, knowledge, and experience you have gained. E.g.
  • Risk analysis
  • Specific machine experience
  • Commissioning of certain things
• Also record the number of people you managed and their roles.

This assists with resource allocation for future projects (tenders)
It also assists with annual performance reviews (your career)
