  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I have recently completed my level 3 Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship, during my time I trained for 2 years full time at TTE Training completing a broad base training course which provided me with all the necessary skills and knowledge to transition to site full time in the 3rd year. Day to day on site I worked closely with engineers and craftsmen to advance my knowledge and gain confidence in the profession.
