Engineering operative Review

My role is to assemble & test switchgear and circuit breakers. It involves building the equipment as well as performing different types of tests along the way

I have learnt hands on skills such as how to use hand tools in the correct way, I have also developed my practical & social skills

I would say the programme improves more & more the further you advance. I currently am content with the programme.

My time whilst at Schneider Electric is structured through the day, every day. I am always aware of the tasks & goals we plan to achieve. However, structure at college can be unorganised and unclear, a lot of the time even the tutor is not aware of the lesson plan

I receive full support from my employer, whether it be my Team leader, line manager or first point of apprentice contact

To my knowledge I have not communicated with Getmyfirstjob since starting the apprenticeship.

I believe that the skills I will pick up whilst at college will apply to my work environment because it will enable me to capture a more thorough understanding of electrical engineering, when I inevitably work with electrical components

There are a number of activities to become involved in at my work. One example being the social committee, however I have not become part of any group.

Yes

- Positive working environment - A vast range of job roles to choose from - Helpful and friendly employees - As much assistance as needed is provided by Schneider for whatever reason it may be

- Ensure that the job role you choose is the one you definitely want - Research what Schneider does, who they supply their products to - Embrace all feedback given by longer serving employees and superiors
