thank you for creating such a helpful web guys.
I am writing my PS for Engineering Project Management Program in Lancaster University. Lets start it

Engineering Construction Company Management



I have been working in my company construction project for the last five years. from this job, I have been experienced the project life cycle from conception, tender phase, contract negotiation, engineering design, and construction phase. For me, it is very amazing to see how a project develop and progressing in every step of project cycle.

I have started my career in my company as a Project Engineer in engineering team of raw material handling & storage of Blast Furnace Project. Working with our engineering consultant, I was able to enhance my technical knowledge and learn its implementation in problem solving frame during engineering design phase of the project. Through this role, I also become get used to work in line with schedules and deadlines to meet the desirable target. Thanks to my proactive and problem solving attitude, the company has then entrust me a position as Project Management & Control in Harbor Stockyard Project which was a further challenge in my career. The position has provide me a broader responsibility to handle from project administration, managing the engineering phase, project progress monitoring, commercial aspect, project communication, etc. as well as bigger and more diverse team and stakeholder. My interaction with diverse education background team had led me to gain flexibility to handle different task in the project I am work in. Through this role, I am delighted to be able to gain knowledge in various aspect of the project. It is because of my integrity and passion to growth, my Project Manager has acknowledge me as one of the key person in the project.

The complexity of a project will increased along with the size of the project. A professional with experience and schematic approach in project management would be essential for successful delivery of the project. Thinking about this, I realize that my previous experience in the project was not enough for my future career development as I lack of the theory about how supposedly to manage a project. For that reason, I have decided to take a Master Degree in Project Management to improve my knowledge to continue working for bigger and more complex project in the future.

Seeing my unique professional background in both technical and project management field, I believe the Engineering Project Management Program in Lancaster University would be best for a passionate candidate like me who seeking for future career development in construction industry. The combination of the technical modules from department of engineering, and project management modules from the management school would be suitable for a person with engineering background like me who wish to advance both my technical and project management skill. The technical knowledge as well as project commercial knowledge gain through this course would become an important base for problem solving and decision making in the frame of project management. Another important things are this program has a strong emphasis on practical experience such as workshop, case studies, summer project, to ensure that the students understand the application of the knowledge they have learned.

Last but not least, Master Degree in Engineering Project Management from Lancaster University will benefit me in several ways. One, it will help me to do my works better. A project involves a team with multi-disciplinary education background. The wide and diverse range of module in the program will provide me the ability to communicate effectively with every part of the project team with different role in the project and will help me to see problems from different point of view, leading to a more comprehensive recommendation to solve the problems. From that, it is clear that mastering wide and diverse knowledge would be a competitive advantage for me. Two, it will makes me more efficient to get my works done. A deep understanding about every phase in the project life cycle and proper application of project management will help me to visualize my future works in a project, which would allow me to prepare for the works in advance.

My previous professional experience will be the complement for the theory taught in every module. I believe it will be a solid foundation for me to success in MSc Engineering Project Management in Lancaster University. At the same time, it would be a good reference for other students during the course and benefit the program.

Drey, just because the personal statement said you have to submit a minimum of 100 words does not mean that you need to submit all of the information that you did at the start of this essay. They already provided you with the guide questions to help you present only the most relevant and important information in the essay. That is the part that needs to be at least 100 words long.

From the looks of it, if you start the essay at the point where you state:

I believe the Engineering Project Management Program in Lancaster University would be best for a passionate candidate like me who seeking for future career development in construction industry...

Then end with the following paragraph:

My previous professional experience will be the complement for the theory taught in every module...

You will already have 347 words to completely answer the prompt. In all honesty, that is the only part of the essay that is relevant and delivers all of the prompt requirements. So that is all you have to present to the reviewer in the end. Therefore, that is the only part that we have to work on. If you can work on revising that specific part to better enhance the content in response to the prompt questions, I can help you better thresh out the content. I look forward to reading your revision :-)
