Meet Trainee Developer, Josh Corteen
How did you join PDMS?
I joined PDMS straight from university, I sent my CV in via the website and after two informal interviews, I was offered the position of Trainee Developer.
What qualifications do you need to do your job?
To become a Developer at PDMS, you don’t necessarily need any particular qualifications but I do have a relevant degree.
What skills do you need to do your job?
You need to have good problem-solving skills, a willingness to learn new coding languages as well as strong communication skills. Also, understanding that you won’t know everything, so be ready to ask for help if needed.
What does a typical day look like for you?
I'm still quite new at PDMS but a typical day includes a daily developer catch-up, then working through any developer tasks from our jobs board. Jobs vary from being quick fixes through to needing multiple people to work on the code. In the afternoon, if I have time, I'll do some self-learning.
