I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Civic Engineers in Jan 2021

Sent CV and Cover Letter then had an 'initial' chat with someone from the recruitment team. Was described by them as an 'initial chat' when actually they asked your typical interview questions, a little misleading.
