Trainee Operational Delivery Engineer Review

Every day at National is different. For my role, as an apprentice, I need to complete all the stages of my apprenticeship. For that I need to tick off tasks on the list which makes up the stages. With this I am also involved with some of the other jobs off my task list where I take my learnings to the next level. The job also enables me to do a HNC degree besides my normal role. Therefore the daily routine is a blend and balance to focus on getting things on my task list done, working on assignments, while also learning off the job by getting involved in the work beyond my tasks.

Lots of skills developed with respect to the electrical power networks and the safety aspect which comes with that.

I enjoy my job to a great extent. It allows me to learn, while networking with various different people, develops my understanding of tools and hands on skills. Also, I am able to keep a good work life balance while working in this role.

It is a very well organised and structured programme which is one reason I chose to take on the role.

I receive all the support from my colleagues and managers whenever I have asked for it.

The training provider has also offered support for me, always when needed

This is arguable a bit, however, the knowledge gained from the qualification does help in some areas of work.

Have had social activities in training, so fair to say yes

Yes

I like the work culture here at National grid. The role gives a lot of opportunities to grow your career. People are absolutely friendly as well.

Just get on with the role, you wouldn’t want to leave once you are in.
