Engineering Apprentice Review

As an Engineering apprentice, I’m involved in the preventative maintenance, diagnosing and fixing faults on complex machinery and equipment. Working alongside the engineers on site allows me to experience all the different tasks they undertake to keep the site running smoothly.

I have learnt many new skills that have allowed me to progress further within my job role. I have learnt practical skills as well as problem solving and team work skills.

I really enjoy the programme as there are always plenty of jobs to tackle and improvements being made. Two days are never the same and you’re always learning new things.

I feel very well valued by Unilever as Unilever has given me an insight into different job roles and opportunities I never knew existed! I’m excited for what the future holds.

The apprenticeship programme is very well structured as it allows college based learning and on the job training within a 4 year programme.

I receive support off my training provider to allow me to achieve the highest grade possible. They offer support material with all college work assigned to us.

I receive support off my employer when I approach them with a question or query. They are always there when I am in need of any advise.

My salary package meets my costs easily. Unilever provide there apprentices with a very good wage to live off which is a lot higher than other apprenticeship wages.

Yes, there are many opportunities outsight of work. Unilever have given me the insight into different job roles and opportunities I never knew existed!
